Yongfeng Zhong

Currently, I am a Ph.D. candidate of Computer Science under supervison of Dr. Xiao-ming Wu at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). Before that, I was a senior research engineer at IDL Baidu Research and worked on fine-grained image recognition. My research outputs have been applied to an influential online group-buying app Nuomi, which has been covered by several media, such as VentureBeat and DigitalTrends.

I obtained my master's degree of computer science at the University of Bonn, advised by Prof. Dr. Sven Behnke. During my master's study, I participated in several research projects about tracking and navigation for soccer robots and micro air vehicles. Before coming to Germany, I obtained my master's degree of information science at The Institute of Science and Technical of China (ISTIC). I received my Bachelor's degree in Information System at Wuhan University.
