Biography



Henghui Ding is currently a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow (PPF, Principal Investigator) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. Prior to that, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Computer Vision Lab of ETH Zürich in Switzerland and a Research Scientist at ByteDance AI Lab in Singapore. He received the Ph.D. degree (winner of Best Thesis Award) from NTU in 2020, and the B.E. degree from Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU), Xi'an China, in 2016. His research interests broadly includes 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 as a Senior Program Committee (SPC) member of AAAI'22 and IJCAI'23, and an Associate Editor of IET Computer Vision.
