I am currently a Research Fellow at The Artificial Scientific Intelligence Lab (ASI Lab) at the National University of Singapore, under the supervision of Prof. Leo Dianbo Liu. Before that, I received my Ph.D. from Nanjing University of Science and Technology, where I was affiliated with the Visual Intelligence and Multimedia (VIM) and Intelligent Media Analysis Group (IMAG) under the supervision of Prof. Xiangbo Shu.

Previously, I was a visiting Ph.D. student at A*STAR and NUS for two years, working with Prof. Mike Z. Shou and Dr. Basura.

My research interests include Computer Vision, Action Recognition, Federated Learning, Task Planning, and AI Agents.

📫 Get in Touch / Collaborations

I am always open to discussions and collaborations! If you share an interest in these research directions, or are seeking remote internship opportunities, please feel free to reach out with your CV at: xubinq11@gmail.com.
