Sheng Zhou (ε‘¨ζ™Ÿ)

I am a final-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Hefei University of Technology (HFUT), advised by by Prof. Dan Guo and Prof. Meng Wang. Previously, I studied at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) for one year under the guidance of Prof. Xun Yang. Currently, I am studying at National University of Singapore (NUS) as a visiting student under the guidance of Dr. Junbin Xiao, Prof. Angela Yao, and Prof. Tat-Seng Chua.

I am actively seeking research discussions and collaboration opportunities, so feel free to contact me!

πŸ”₯ As I near the end of my PhD journey, I am looking for career opportunities that align with my passion and drive!

Research

My research focuses on visual-language understanding and reasoning, primarily on scene-text visual question answering. I am currently expanding my research scope to egocentric video understanding and multimodal large language models for human assistance.
