Biography

I am a PhD student in the Deparment of Computer Science at Purdue University, supervised by Prof. Ahmed H. Qureshi.

I was a graduate student in the Deparment of Computer Science at Florida State University, supervised by Prof. Xifeng Gao, and I also worked closely with Dr. Zherong Pan. I had an internship at Adobe Research, working with Dr. Kevin Wampler.

I received my B.S degree from University of Science and Technology of China, supervised by Prof. Ligang Liu and Dr. Xiao-Ming Fu.
