About me

    I recently joined Meta as a senior AI research scientist. I am interested in general CV/ML problems such as optimization, perception, and multi-modal generation. Several of my representative works have been selected as top-tier conference oral/spotlights. One of them has been selected as one of the 12 best papers at ECCV18. Beyond publication, I am also motivated to develop methods that have practical industrial impacts. I have led several projects that have 1) received considerable amount of github stars, 2) been featured by Intel company news or 3) selected as representative product live demos. I have won the 2024 best scholar award at Intel Labs.
