• I am currently a 4th-year Ph.D. student from Institute of Digital Media which is directed by Prof. Wen Gao, Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, Peking University.
• I received the B.E. degree in Digital Media Technology and B.A. degree in Journalism in 2016 from Communication University of China.
• My current research interests lie in
• Image Synthesis especially Image-to-Image Translation
• Deep Learning especially Deep Generative Models
• I am supervised by Prof. Siwei Ma and now a visting Ph.D. student at Vision and Learning Lab at University of California, Merced, under the supervision of Prof. Ming-Hsuan Yang
• I am lucky to have opportunities to work with Hsin-Ying Lee (University of California, Merced), Hung-Yu Tseng (University of California, Merced), Dr. Shiqi Wang (City University of Hong Kong), Dr. Xinfeng Zhang (University of Chinese Academy of Sciences), and Dr. Shanshe Wang (Peking University)
• I am a GAN lover and hope to combine AI with art and fashion :-)
