  Fei Ma is a Researcher and Principal Investigator at Guangdong Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy (SZ), also known as Guangming Laboratory. He leads a research team of over 10 members, focusing on cutting-edge areas including affective computing, multimodal large models, AIGC, and human motion generation. Before joining the Guangming Laboratory, he served as a Senior Engineer at Huawei Cloud. Additionally, he had internship experiences at Tencent and OPPO. These experiences have equipped him with the ability to advance both research and implementation together. He received the B.S. degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in 2017, ranking first among 363 students in his major. He earned his Ph.D. degree from Tsinghua University in 2022 under the supervision of Prof. Lin Zhang.

  Currently, he is actively looking for interns and visiting students (online or offline) who are passionate about the above research areas. Interested candidates are welcome to contact via email.
