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
In general, I am interested in computer vision and machine learning. In particular, I am working on modeling and understanding non-rigid image deformation and data-driven optimization. My approach can be used for dense image alignment, nonrigid object tracking, human pose estimation, distortion correction, etc. In addition, I am also working on data mining algorithms for crowdsourcing.I am about to graduate in 2013 and currently looking for research positions. See my research statement here.
