I am currently a video software engineer at Apple.

I earned my Ph.D degree in Electrical Engineering from Tandon School of Engineering at New York University in 2018. My academic adviser is Prof. Yao Wang, director of NYU Video Lab. 

I earned my M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Polytechnic Institute of New York University in 2011.

I earned my B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Beijing Institute of Technology in 2009.

My research areas include video coding and processing, immersive media and XR, computer vision and artificial intelligence.

My email is fanyi.duanmu (at) nyu (dot) edu OR dmfynyu (at) gmail (dot) com.   

I am also an amateur clarinet performer and a tennis and pingpong fan. I like traveling and have visited 22 states in United States, 3 provinces in Canada and 11 provinces in China.
