Zhonglin Sun (孙中林)

I am an assistant professor(lecturer) at Southwest Jiaotong University.

Prior to that, I was a PhD Student at Queen Mary University of London in UK, supervised by Dr. Georgios (Yorgos) Tzimiropoulos and Prof. Ioannis Patras.

Before my PhD, I am honoured to receive my bachelor's and master's degree from East China Normal University under the supervision of Dr. Li Sun.

Research

I'm interested in human-centred AI and data-efficient learning, with a specific focus on the application to face-related topics, including Face Generation, Synthetic Dataset Generation, Face Recognition, Face Reaction.

I'm happy to discuss any related topics and possible collaborations, please simply drop me an email!

My proudest work is Part-fViT !
