Henghui Ding

Biography

Henghui Ding is currently a tenure-track Professor at Fudan University, and a member of Fudan Vision and Learning Lab. Prior to that, he was a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow (Principal Investigator) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore, a Postdoctoral Researcher at ETH Zürich in Switzerland, and a Research Scientist at ByteDance AI Lab in Singapore. He received the Ph.D. degree (winner of the Best Thesis Award) from NTU in 2020, and the B.E. degree from Xi'an Jiaotong University in 2016. His research interests broadly include machine learning and computer vision. Specifically, he focuses on scene understanding (e.g., image/video segmentation, detection), multi-modal learning (e.g., vision-language), low-shot learning, and human–computer interaction. He serves/served as an Area Chair of CVPR'(24-25), NeurIPS'24, ICLR'25, ACM MM’24, BMVC'24, and a Senior Program Committee (SPC) member of AAAI'(22-25), IJCAI'(23-24).
