Who am I?

I'm Zhenyang Li! Currently I'm working as a Research Scientist @ BAIDU.

I was a Ph.D. student and Postdoctoral researcher in Computer Vision @ QUVA Deep Vision Lab, University of Amsterdam, where I closely collaborated with Prof. Cees Snoek, and Prof. Arnold Smeulders. My research interests lie on computer vision and machine learning in general. And I mainly work on object classification and localization, action recognition in videos.
