The quote that concluded my acknowledgements session of my public PhD defense (Aug. 2009):
The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. -- Bertrand Russell
In my spare time, I enjoy traveling with my family.
When I was slightly young, I loved playing soccer and table tennis crazily. As a result, I have been the best striker of our department's "Watermelon Cup" in 2000, and the champion of our deparment's graduate table tennis tournament in 2001.
During my PhD, I started to love playing the board games (e.g. The Settlers of Catan) with my friends, maybe to further intensify my "Permanent head Damage" case :-). Nevertheless, I have found the game itself helps me to gain more insights into "trade-off and global optimization". One day, I was told by a Catan-friend that someone from Northwestern University has designed an agent to play this board game in his PhD dissertation.
After the birth of our little one in 2008, my hobbies have been largely transformed. Now, besides other great fun with her, we also try to teach her sth. serious, e.g., how to recognize faces and objects based on distinctive features under different scales/rotation/lighting/occlusion/...Usually, we measure both recognition accuracy and response latency for the question like "who is your mom" in the following picture.
Another little one has proudly joined us in 2015.
