Xuwei Xu

• Postdoctoral Research Fellow
• The University of Queensland

Xuwei Xu joined the Centre as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in February 2025 and is based at The University of Queensland. His research focuses on efficient neural networks and vision transformers.

His previous work broadly involved methodologies for efficient neural networks, aiming to achieve a better trade-off between efficiency and performance. He proposed token reduction approaches to reduce the computational complexity for vision transformers and assisted in developing advanced knowledge distillation methods to improve lightweight models’ performance. His research results contributed to deploying outperforming deep learning models on edge devices.

He will work closely with Associate Professor Sen Wang, Centre Director Professor Shazia Sadiq, and partner organisation Queensland Health. He is keen to collaborate with researchers across the Centre and contribute to the CIRES research agenda.
