Junying Chen   陈俊颖

Hello!

I am a second-year PhD student at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, advised by Prof. Benyou Wang. Prior to CUHKSZ, I earned my master's from Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen), supervised by Prof. Qingcai chen, and my bachelor's from Jinan University.

Find me on Google Scholar (1k+ citations), and Github (5k+ stars)!
