About

I'm now working at Celonis AI group. I was with the Advanced Technology Group (ATG) of Pinterest from 2019 to 2022. Before that, I was with Google New York from 2015 to 2019, where I worked for Google Research and YouTube. 

I earned B.S. and M.S. degrees from Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, in 2007 and 2009, respectively, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Department of Computer Science, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, in 2011 and 2014. My Ph.D. advisor was Prof. Jan P. Allebach, who greatly helped me during my study at Purdue.
