Ph.D. Candidate
Department of Civil Engineering, The University of Hong Kong
I am a third-year Ph.D. candidate at The University of Hong Kong advised by Dr. Jintao Ke and Prof. Wai Yuen Szeto. I also worked in CATS Lab led by Prof. Xiaopeng Li at University of Wisconsin–Madison as a visiting Ph.D. student. I received my bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from Tsinghua University advised by Prof. Xinzheng Lu. Before joining HKU, I interned at Jing Dong as a computer vision algorithm engineer for 5 months. My research interests mainly include autonomous driving, shared mobility services, and civil engineering informatics.
