Overview
Background
My name is Xin Yu, an Associate Professor at the University of Queensland. I am an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Researcher Award 2023-2025 (DECRA) recipient and an awardee of the prestigious Google Research Scholar Program in 2021. I am also a Google Visiting Faculty. Previously, I was a research fellow at the Australian National University (ANU). I received my PhD degree from the Australian National Unversity under the supervision of Prof. Richard Hartley, Prof. Fatih Porikli and Dr. Basura Fernando. I also received a PhD degree from Tsinghua University supervised by Prof. Li Zhang. I am interested in Computer Vision and Machine Learning topics.
My research topics includes various computer vision and machine learning tasks, especially in efficient low-level image processing, image retrieval and localization, action recognition, 3D pose estimation, visual navigation and sign language recognition and translation.

Research impacts
One of my research papers has been awarded "Best Paper Honorable Mention" award in the premium computer vision conference WACV 2020, and one paper has been nominated for the Best Paper Award in CVPR 2020.
I was awarded the Outstanding Reviewer Award in ECCV 2020, CVPR 2021 and ICCV 2021. CVPR, ICCV and ECCV are internationally world-leading computer vision and machine learning conferences. My research interests include deep learning techniques, image processing, and computer vision tasks. I am a program committee member of top-tier computer vision and machine learning conferences, such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICML, ICLR and NeurIPS, and a reviewer of prestigious journals, such as TPAMI, IJCV and TIP.
I am happy to supervise self-motivated PhD and MPhil students. If you are an undergraduate student and willing to conduct your honour project, please drop me an email.
