Short Bio

Yuedong (Donny) Chen is currently enrolled as a Ph.D. student at Monash University, under the supervision of Prof. Jianfei Cai and Prof. Tat-Jen Cham. His PhD research focuses on inferring and manipulating 3D scenes from 2D data using feed-forward solutions.

Previously, he was a Research Assistant at IMI NTU, where he honed his research skills under the guidance of Prof. Jianfei Cai and Prof. Tat-Jen Cham. During this period, his research focused on enhancing emotion recognition by incorporating human prior knowledge. He also interned at Lenovo Research (Beijing), collaborating closely with Dr. Jianfeng Wang.

His academic journey began with the completion of both his MEng and BEng degrees at Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU), where he majored in Software Engineering. Additionally, he also spent a semester as an exchange student at National Chi Nan University (NCNU) during his BEng studies.
