Brief Bio

I was born in Shanghai, a beautiful and fast-developing city in China. I studied in Computer Science and Engineering Department, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and graduated as a Bachelor in 2005 and a Master in 2008. I am now a Ph.D candidate in the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, working with my advisor Srinivasa Narasimhan.

See here for my resume.

I recently received Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship (2011-2013).

Research Direction

I am generally interested in computer vision and machine learning. I currently work on distortion estimation of images.
