I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department of UT Dallas and lead the Computer Vision and Multimodal Computing (CVMC) Lab. Before coming to UTD, I finished my PhD at University of Rochester, advised by Chenliang Xu, my master degree at Tsinghua University working with Wenming Yang, and B.E degree at Xidian University. I was a visiting student at SIAT advised by Yu Qiao. I did internships at Adobe Research with Dingzeyu Li and Meta with Alexander Richard. I am interested in solving core computer vision, computer audition, and machine learning problems and applying the developed learning approaches to broad AI applications, such as multisensory perception, computational photography, AR/VR, accessibility, and healthcare. My work has been recognized with awards including the AAAI New Faculty Highlights, Cisco Faculty Research Award, and Amazon Research Award.
