|
Zhangkai NI is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Technology at the Tongji University. He obtained his Ph.D. degree (Oct. 2021) in Computer Science from the City University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Prof. Sam Tak Wu KWONG (IEEE Fellow). Over the years, he was lucky to have some amazing collaborators who have helped me along the way. He was fortunate enough to work closely with Prof. Kai-Kuang MA (IEEE Fellow), Prof. Hanli WANG, Dr. Shiqi WANG, Dr. Lin Ma, Prof. Huanqiang ZENG, and Dr. Wenhan YANG. His research interests include computer vision and image processing, particularly generative modeling, unsupervised learning, image/video restoration, image/video enhancement, and image/video quality assessment. We are looking for Postdoctoral fellow, PhD students, Master students. Please feel free to contact me. |
