About Me
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the Ohio State University (OSU). My research interests are in machine learning and its applications to computer vision, autonomous driving, natural language processing, artificial intelligence, health care, etc. I am also the advisor of the OSU AI Club and the Buckeye AutoDrive Team for the SAE AutoDrive Challenge II.
Before joining OSU, I was a Postdoctoral Associate in Computer Science at Cornell University, working with Kilian Weinberger and Mark Campbell. Before that, I did my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Southern California (USC). My adviser was Fei Sha, and I had a great time working with many excellent people in the TEDS lab. Earlier, I obtained an MS degree in Communication Engineering from National Taiwan University and a BS degree in Communication Engineering from National Chiao Tung University.
For more resources and information, please visit my GitHub and my former homepage.
You can also find my CV here (5/2025).
