About


Hello there! I am Hao Chen, and I am from Canton, southeastern China. Currently, I am a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, gratefully supervised by Prof. Chao Li and Prof. Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb. I am also a visiting student at Johns Hopkins University, working with Prof. Zongwei Zhou. Before join Cambridge, I was at the MI+x Lab in the University of Birmingham with Prof Jianbo Jiao. My passion lies in developing better representations by modeling dynamics in images and deepening visual understanding/thinking. These interests are driven by the goal of tackling challenges in vision and healthcare, especially in image/video generation and the captivating field of medical imaging.
