Tianhe Ren

I am currently working at The International Digital Economy Academy (IDEA) as Computer Vision Engineer, advised by Prof. Lei Zhang . In 2021, I got my bachelor's degree from MAC Lab in Xiamen University advised by Associate Prof. Yiyi Zhou and Prof. Rongrong Ji. I'm primarily interested in researching vision foundation models, object detection and segmentation, and multi-modal learning. I'm also passionate about open-source projects in AI community. The research work and open-source projects I'm involved in have garnered more than 25.0K stars on Github. My personal avatar is my beloved daughter named Toffee, she is a Minuet (also known as the Napoleon) cat.
