Jian Hu

I am currently a final year PhD student within the Computer Vision Group in the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science at Queen Mary, University of London, supervised by Prof. Shaogang Gong.

Before joining the Computer Vision Group in QMUL, I was in Shanghai Jiao Tong University , supervised by Prof. Hongya Tuo and working closely with Prof. Junchi Yan.

Currently my area of expertise is in deep learning and computer vision, especially in Transfer learning, Semi-supervised learning, Incremental learning, Lifelong Learning and their related applications.

Research

I'm interested in computer vision, machine learning, and image processing. I am currently primarily focused on how to achieve cross-domain knowledge transfer in in-the-wild scenarios.
