Yakun Ju (舉雅琨)

I am now a Research Fellow at the Rapid-Rich Object Search Lab (ROSE), School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, working with Prof. Alex C. Kot.

I earned my Ph.D. at the School of Computer Science and Technology, Ocean University of China, supervised by Prof. Junyu Dong, in June 2022 (successive master-doctor program). Before that, I earned my B.Eng. at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Sichuan University, in June 2016.

I'm also grateful for having collaborated with these inspiring professors: Kin-Man Lam (PolyU), Shiqi Wang (CityU), Bihan Wen (NTU), Boxin Shi (PKU), Huiyu Zhou (UL), Sheng Chen (Soton), Wuyuan Xie (SZU), etc.

My research interests focus on 3D Reconstruction, Computational Imaging, Medical Image Processing, Underwater Vision, and Machine Learning. If you want to cooperate with me, kindly contact me via E-mails.
