About Me

Greetings! My name is Dan Xu. I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at HKUST. I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Visual Geometry Group (VGG) in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, under the supervision of Prof. Andrea Vedaldi and Prof. Andrew Zisserman. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Trento in 2018, under the supervision of Prof. Nicu Sebe in Multimedia and Human Understanding Group (MHUG). I was a student research assistant in MMLab and the Department of Electronic Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Prof. Xiaogang Wang. My research foucuses on computer vision, multimedia and machine learning. Specifically, I am interested in deep learning, multi-modal and structured representation learning, statistical modelling within deep learning, as well as their applications in 2D/3D scene understanding, involving topics such as scene depth prediction, visual SLAM, object detection and scene parsing.
