Xiaowei Hu 胡枭玮 Ph.D. Student Rm 1024, Ho Sin-Hang Engineering Building, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong. Email: xwhu@cse.cuhk.edu.hk [Curriculum Vitae]

I am currently a third year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), supervised by Prof. Pheng-Ann Heng and Prof. Chi-Wing Fu. Before that, I received the B. Eng. degree from the School of Computer Science and Engineering, South China University of Technology (SCUT) in 2016. I worked with Prof. Xuemiao Xu for undergraduate research.

My research interests include computer vision, deep learning, low-level vision, and saliency computation.
