Zhiwu Huang

I will be starting as an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing and Information Systems at Singapore Management University (SMU). Before coming to Singapore, I worked as a Guest/Postdoc Researcher with Prof. Luc Van Gool in Computer Vision Lab at ETH Zurich. My AutoVL group studies Automated Visual Learning that aims for making machines to learn the visual world, all by themselves. Our research focuses on visual fake, affect and behavior computing through automated machine learning on data, label, feature, neuron and task.

I am actively looking for motivated and talented PhD students to join our research group at SMU. Please follow the instructions to reach me if you are interested.
