About Me

Supervised under Prof. Henry He, I obtained Ph.D. degree in 2018 from Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Missouri-Columbia. Prior to that, I graduated from Beijing Jiaotong University with B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering in May 2012.

I actively conduct AI-related research; my first-authored scholarly publications have received 600+ citations. I am an initiative AI practitioner contributing open-sourced code to the community; my github repos have been starred 2,000+ times with 600+ forks. As the primary contributor, I have participated AI challenges hosted by ICCV 2017, ECCV 2018 and CVPR 2020.
