Biography
I am a Phd student in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Michigan. I joined the computer vision lab at the University of Michigan in 2010. My advisor is Prof. Silvio Savarese. My research focuses on understanding objects and scenes from images and videos, with emphasis on recognizing both semantic and 3D geometric properties of objects and scenes. My current work attempts to develop 3D object representation and recognition methods which can be useful for real world applications. I received my B.S. degree in computer science from Fudan University in 2007 and my M.S. degree in computer science from Fudan University in 2010. I did research on automatic image annotation under the supervision of Prof. Xiangdong Zhou for my master thesis. (CV)News
