Brief Bio

I am a PhD candidate in the College of Engineering, Northeastern University, USA and work with Prof. Yun Raymond Fu in the SMILE Lab. Before that I spent two years in the Department of Computer Sicence & Engineering, University of North Texas, working with Prof. Song Fu. Many thanks for Prof. Song Fu's kind help and great supports during the time! I received my BS and MS degrees in the College of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing Forestry University, China, advised by Prof. Yingan Liu and Prof. Qiaolin Ye.

My research interests are in the areas of Computer Vision, and Machine Learning. I was a research intern at Bell Labs Murry Hill in the summer of 2020 (remotely)， and eBay Computer Vision Group San Jose in 2022. I was the recipient of ICME'20 Best Student Paper Award, SEC'19 Best Paper Award, and Academic Technology Scholar Award from Northeastern University for Fall 2022.

- I'm actively looking for a visiting position in academia or industry for Fall 2023 (and/or Spring 2024). Please drop me an email if you or your research group is interested.
