Hi, I am Lei, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at School of Electrical and Information Engineering, the University of Sydney, Australia. Currently, I am working with Associate Prof. Wanli Ouyang. Prior to that, I received my PhD degree in Computer Science from UNSW Sydney under the supervision of Scientia Associate Prof. Lina Yao and Prof. Salil Kanhere.

My research focuses on developing robust and versatile spatial-temporal Learning algorithms for pattern discovery and knowledge mining in the multi-modal sequential data, such as video and correlated time series. My work is motivated and can be applied to various real-world applications such as Smart Cities (e.g., Intelligent Transportation), Healthcare (e.g., elder caring), Fintech, and Neuroscience.

Always welcome discussions and cooperations, feel free to drop me an email anytime you want.
