Biography
I am currently a tenure-track assistant professor (under Presidential Young Professorship) in the Department of ECE, National University of Singapore (NUS). Before joining NUS, I was an assistant professor in the Department of CS, Stevens Institute of Technology. Before joining Stevens, I was a Postdoc at the Image Formation and Professing (IFP) group at Beckman Institute, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). I received my Ph.D. from the Computer Vision Lab, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), and the first-class honorable B.Sc. in Dept. of Computing, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HKPU) in 2010.
