I am a postdoctoral researcher at Duke University (the Nicholas School of Environment), working with Prof. Tong Qiu. My current working location is in the Levine Science Research Center (LSRC), Durham, North Carolina, USA. I received my B.S. degree of communication engineering from Wuhan University (2020) and received my Ph. D. degree (2025) from the State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping, and Remote Sensing (LIESMARS), Wuhan University, worked with Prof. Hongyan Zhang, Prof. Wei He, and Prof. Liangpei Zhang.
My research interests include weakly-supervised semantic segmentation, land cover mapping, and large-scale Earth observation applications.
