Junhui Hou (Senior Member, IEEE) holds a B.Eng. degree in information engineering (Talented Students Program) from the South China University of Technology (SCUT), Guangzhou, China (2006 - 2009), an M.Eng. degree in signal and information processing from Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU), Xi’an, China (2009 - 2012), and a Ph.D. degree from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore (2012 - 2016). He joined the Department of Computer Science at CityU as an Assistant Professor in 2017 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2023. Dr. Hou's research interest is multi-dimensional visual computing. Recently, we have been foucusing on 3D/4D generation and diffusion-based modeling of visual data.
