Biography
Junhui Hou is an Associate Professor with the Department of Computer Science, City University of Hong Kong (CityU). He received the BEng. degree in information engineering (Talented Students Program) from the South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China (2006 - 2009), the MEng. degree in signal and information processing from Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, China (2009 - 2012), and the PhD degree from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, NTU, Singapore (2012 - 2016). His research interests fall into the general areas of multi-dimensional visual computing. Dr. Hou received the Early Career Award from the Hong Kong Research Grants Council and the Excellent Young Scientists Fund from the National Natural Science Foundation of China. Recently, we have been focusing on neural spatial computing, spanning representation, processing, and analysis, to advance spatial intelligence.
