Yansong Tang

I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Tsinghua-Berkeley Shenzhen Institute/Shenzhen International Graduate School, Tsinghua University, where I direct the IVG@SZ (Intelligent Vision Group at Shenzhen, the sister group of the IVG at Beijing). Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Engineering Science of the University of Oxford, working with Prof. Philip H. S. Torr and Prof. Victor Prisacariu. My current research interests lie in computer vision, computer graphics and machine learning.

I received my B.S. degree and Ph.D degree with honour from Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Jie Zhou and Prof. Jiwen Lu. I have also spent time at Prof. Song-Chun Zhu’s VCLA lab of University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA), hosted by Dr. Han Hu and Dr. Xin Tong respectively.

I am looking for self-motivated Master/PhD/Postdoc. If you have top grades or coding skill, and are highly creative and interested in joining my group, please do not hesitate to send me your CV and transcripts of grades by Email after reading this file.
