About us

We are a team of researchers and engineers who are serious in Intelligent Geo-Computing and Sensing (IGCS), which was formed in 2023 and is led by Professor Zheng. Here are our answers to some of frequently asked questions regarding joining our group.

Team's interest: The team's primary focus is to get you succeeded in your career path. Customizing to your interest, we try to help your way to reach the goal after you graduate the lab.

Our daily life: We want to come up with working ideas for a lot of bottlenecks in visual/remote sensing understanding problems and relevant machine learning problems. We read papers, discuss with fellow students and faculty, implement them and come up with new ideas for the issues in the state of the arts.

Open discussion: We welcome any crazy ideas to try and discuss among the team and the faculty is always open to discuss on anything.

Computing resources: We try our best to provide you the best development environments.

Monetary compensation: We try our best to give you the best of monetary compensation. In 2023, most of our team members are paid to the legally allowed maximum graduate student salaries and more for additional project wordloads if you want to be involved.

Active collaborations: We work closely with Tsinghua University, National Supercomputing Center in Shenzhen, National Supercomputing Center in WuXi, and HUAWEI.

The research topics are as follows:

1. Large-Scale Remote Sensing Image Understanding

2. Deep Learning and its Applications

3. High-Performance Computing

How to join our group

  We currently have a few graduate positions (Undergraduate Intern and Master) openings for 2025. Please contact the faculty with your CV and transcript as soon as possible!

Prerequisite: Take a machine learning or a computer vision class (online class should be okay as well but my class will be preferred).

The best way to join us: The best way to join us is to do an internship with us during your undergraduate days.
    If you haven't worked with us (e.g., as an intern), that's fine. We may ask you to go through some initial screening to gauge your experience.

Contact in advance: Please email the faculty with your CV and transcript as soon as possible. If you have any previous research experience, please also share the portfolio with us.

Group Building Activities

At the SYSU IGCS Lab, we're not just a team—we're a family. We believe that fostering a collaborative and supportive environment is key to unlocking innovation and achieving excellence in research. That’s why our lab regularly organizes engaging group building activities, designed to strengthen connections and spark creativity among our members.
