Pengfei Xu
Logo Associate Professor @ Shenzhen University

I am currently an Associate Professor with the VCC group at Shenzhen University. Before joining SZU, I worked with Prof. Chiew-Lan Tai as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where I also obtained my Ph.D in Computer Science in 2015, under the guidance of Prof. Chiew-Lan Tai and Prof. Hongbo Fu. Before that, I received my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Zhejiang University in 2009. My research falls in Computer Graphics and Human-Computer Interaction, especially automatic or interactive visual content creation.

I am currently looking for master and PhD students. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in my research.
