About Me

Currently, I am an applied scientist at Amazon. I received my Ph.D degree from Computer Science Department, University of Rochester, advised by Prof. Jiebo Luo. My research interests lie in Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing and Deep Learning, especially the intersection between vision and language. I have spent time at Google Research, Adobe Research, Bytedance AI Lab U.S. and Tencent Youtu Lab as a research intern during my Ph.D. career. Prior to this, I obtained my bachelor degree from Electronic and Information Engineering, University of Science and Technology of China, supervised by Prof. Xinmei Tian.
