Haoyu Chen is a Tenure-track Assistant Professor at the Center for Machine Vision and Signal Analysis (CMVS), University of Oulu. He is also a co-founder of the AI startup Aitomore and an AI-based restaurant Aitofresh. His research focuses on Machine Learning, Human Behaviour Analysis, Emotion AI, and Adversarial Learning, with particular emphasis on Hybrid Intelligence and human-AI interaction.
Dr. Chen received his Ph.D. from the University of Oulu, Finland, where he was advised by Academy Professor Guoying Zhao. During his PhD studies, he visited CEL, TU Delft, the Netherlands. Prior to that, he received his B.E. degree from China University of Geosciences, China, and Master degree from University of Oulu, Finland. Before joining as faculty, he conducted Postdoc research in CMVS, University of Oulu, with projects on Emotion AI (Academy Finland project) and trustworthy AI (Infotech project).
His research spans multiple areas of artificial intelligence with a focus on understanding human behavior through AI systems. Dr. Chen's work particularly emphasizes emotion recognition, 3D pose transfer, micro-gesture analysis, and the development of hybrid intelligence systems where humans and AI mutually enhance each other's capabilities. His recent work has increasingly incorporated large language models for multimodal understanding of human emotions and behaviors, with significant publications in ICML, CVPR, and NeurIPS.
