Greetings, welcome to my website!

I am a Professor at the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Southeast University (SEU), China, and I am also a member of the PALM lab. Before joining SEU, I was a post-doctoral fellow at Monash University in 2022. I received the Ph.D. degree from the Australian National University and DATA61-CSIRO in 2022, under the supervision of Prof. Lars Petersson and Prof. Mehrtash Harandi, and the M.E. degree from the Australian National University in 2017, under the supervision of Prof. Zhiyong Sun and Dr. Qingchen Liu. My research interests include computer vision and machine learning. The outcome of my research is published in the top venues in the filed. My Erdos path reads as Pengfei Fang -> Mehrtash Harandi -> Richard Hartley -> Marc Kilgour -> Peter C. Fishburn -> Paul Erdos.

I am always looking for good undergraduate and master students, who are interested in working on challenging machine learning and computer vision research problems with me. I encourage students to contact me, but you must have good mathematical and programming skills. When contacting me, please include a copy of your academic transcripts and research proposal (if you have:-)).
