Yongqin

I am a research scientist at Google Zurich. Prior to that, I was a post-doctoral researcher with Luc Van Gool in the Computer Vision Lab at ETH Zurich. I completed my PhD summa cum laude at the Max Planck Institute Informatics under the supervision of Bernt Schiele and Zeynep Akata. My research focuses on vision-language model pretraining and its applications in vision tasks.
