Short Bio: Heng Fan is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of North Texas. He received his B.S. in Computer Science and Technology from Huazhong Agricultural University in 2013 and Ph.D. (advised by Professor Haibin Ling) in Computer Science from Stony Brook University in 2021, respectively. His research interests include computer vision with a particular interest in various video analysis tasks using vision and language, robotics with a focus on robot vision perception, and medical image analysis. He serves or has served as an Associate Editor for Pattern Recognition (PR) and Image and Vision Computing (IVC), and as an Area Chair for conferences including ICCV, NeurIPS, AAAI, WACV, and BMVC.
To prospective students: I am looking for self-motivated PhD students and (remote) research interns to work on interesting problems in computer vision and medical image analysis. If you are interested, please read HERE.
Call for papers: We're organizing a special issue on World Modeling for Dynamic Video Understanding in Pattern Recognition. Submissions are now open, with a deadline of March 31, 2027. We warmly welcome high-quality submissions on relevant topics!
