Hi there! I am currently a computer science PhD student at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), working with Prof. Alexander Schwing. Previously, I obtained my Master's in Computer Science from UC Davis after spending two wonderful years with Prof. Yong Jae Lee. I completed my Bachelor of Software Engineering at Sun Yat-sen University (中山大学).

I spent a wonderful summer at NVIDIA Research with Dr. Zhiding Yu, Dr. Ming-Yu Liu, Dr. Xiaodong Yang, and Dr. Jan Kautz in 2018 [photo of us]. I also worked as a Machine Learning Researcher at EgoVid Inc. with Prof. Michael S. Ryoo from 2017 to 2018 [photo of us@ECCV'18 demo].

Research Interests: Computer Vision and Machine Learning.
I am particularly interested in the tasks of learning visual knowledge with minimal human supervision.

Recent News

In 2018, I had 1 CVPR and 1 ECCV papers; worked at Nvidia, Egovid Inc., and UCD; and joined UIUC.
