About me

I am a PhD candidate at UC San Diego, advised by Prof. Nuno Vasconcelos. Prior to joining UCSD, I received the BEng in Electronic Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2017. I have interned at MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab and Intel AI Lab.

My research centers around building reliable machine learning & vision systems under various forms of dataset and model bias. Specifically, I work on developing bias mitigation techniques for data and models, applying them to challenging vision problems such as temporal video understanding and multimodal learning from visual, text and audio modalities.

I am graduating in 2024 and seeking full-time research & postdoctoral positions. Please contact me for relevant opportunities.
