I’m Simiao Lai (赖思邈), a Ph.D. candidate in School of Information and Communication Engineering, Dalian University of Technology (DUT), under the tutelage of Prof. Huchuan Lu, IEEE FELLOW. My research interests include Visual Object Tracking and MultiModel leanring.
I received my B.E. degree from College Of Information Science and Engineering, Northeastern University and mentored by Prof. Jing-Jiao Li at NEU, Prof. Dong Wang and Prof. Huchuan Lu (Fellow, IEEE) at DUT.
I am open for collaborations in research. I am also actively looking for collaborators, especially in the fields of SOT, Vison-Language Tracking and MultiModal Learning. Please feel free to contact me.
