About Me

I am a Ph.D. in Computer Vision. I am interested in Deep Learning and Computer Vision tasks which are related to Robotics such as visual object tracking, object 3D pose estimation and scene understanding. My Ph.D. thesis is under the supervision of RENAUD MARNET and CHAOHUI WANG. I am also an alumni from the IMAGINE group (laboratory LIGM), the joint research group between Ecole des Ponts ParisTech and University Paris-Est. Previously, I received the Master Degree in Robotics at Sorbonne University. Please feel free to contact me at QIU.Xuchong[at]outlook[dot]com.
