Biography
I am a third year Ph.D. student of School of Automation, Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU), majoring in Pattern Recognition & Intelligent Systems, supervised by Prof. Junwei Han. Before that, I worked as a master candidate from Sept. 2012 to Jul. 2014 under the supervision of Prof. Han in NPU. I received the B. Eng degree from Honors College at NPU in 2012.
Currently, I am a visiting Ph.D. student in Vision and Learning Lab, at Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of California at Merced, under the supervision of Prof. Ming-Hsuan Yang.

Research Interests
My research interests include computer vision related topics and deep learning. Now I mainly focus on saliency detection.
