About MyselfI am a Ph.D. student in ECE, Carnegie Mellon University. I am advised by Prof. Takeo Kanade, Dr. Lee Weiss and Dr. Phil Campbell. I was a Ph.D. candidate in ECE, the University of Iowa prior to August, 2004, where I studied under Prof. Milan Sonka. I obtained an M.S. degree from the University of Iowa in December, 2003, and a B.S. degree from Nanjing University, Nanjing, China in June, 2002, both in Electrical Engineering. My research interests are in the areas of computer vision, image analysis and understanding, and medical imaging. Specifically, I am interested in the theories of graphical models, statistical learning, optimization, and their applications to the design and implementation of computer algorithms/systems for solving practical problems arising in computer-assisted medical diagnosis and treatment, developmental and computational biology, and robotics. A particular emphasis of my current research is on the development of computer algorithms and an automated vision-based system for tracking large-scale stem cell populations in time-lapse microscopy image sequences. I have demonstrated the system for simultaneously tracking (a record number of) over 4000 migrating and proliferating stem cells. I am a part of a multidisciplinary research team that involves biologists, computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and medical doctors. I was born in China's south-eastern city Nanjing, and lived in three Chinese cities: Nanjing, until I was 6; Zhanjiang, a southern coastal city, until I was 14; and Shenzhen, where my parents currently live, until I was 18.
