Biography

I am a Research Scientist at Salesforce Research, Palo Alto, CA, USA. 

Previously, I was a Researcher within the Machine Learning Department at NEC Laboratories America, Inc.

I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Rutgers University in 2023, where I was supervised by Professor Mubbasir Kapadia. I received Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science and Technology in 2017, and Bachelor of Arts in TV Editing and Directing (Post-production of Television) in 2016, both from Communication University of China. 

I did internships at Salesforce Research (Mentors: Juan Carlos Niebles and Roberto Martín-Martín), NEC Labs (Mentors: Asim Kadav and Farley Lai), and Google YouTube (Mentors: Wei-Hong Chuang and Hassan Akbari) where I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to closely collaborate with DeepMind and Google Research.

Coffee, friends and my sweet dog and cat are my sources of happiness.
