Xuhui Zhao's CV

The one who likes exploration

Brief Introduction

😊 A welcome video for you! 😊

🎓 I’m a Ph.D. candidate at the School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, specializing in photogrammetry, remote sensing, and robotics, will graduate in Dec. 2024.

🚀 My research direction involves unmanned system-based visual perception and localization (Visual SLAM), satellite video intelligent interpretation, and low-rank representation and analysis.

📜 I have published fifteen academic papers as the first author in top SCI journals and conferences in related fields, such as IEEE T-ITS, IEEE IROS, IEEE IGARSS, IEEE ROBIO, and ISPRS Congress.

📁 I am dedicatedly involved in over ten high-level projects as a key member (ranked first student) such as the major projects of the NSFC of China and Outstanding Youth project of Hubei Province.

💻 I have attended and orally presented over twenty conferences such as IEEE IROS, ROBIO, RCAR, ICCA， and have been invited to serve as IEEE IGARSS Session Chair and other academic services.

🏅 I have received more than ten awards such as Outstanding Academic Scholarship (Wuhan University), China Invention and Entrepreneurship Award, and the Best Student Paper at the BICS conference.

🤗 I have been the Chair of the Doctoral Chapter of the Graduate Union in our school and designed its logo. I was also elected as the delegate to attend the Graduate Assembly many times.
