About me

I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science at Princeton University, advised by Professor Ryan P. Adams and Professor Szymon Rusinkiewicz. I studied machine learning and its applications across engineering, including robotics, manufacturing, and perception. Previously, I visited MIT CSAIL, supervised by Professor Joshua B. Tenenbaum and Professor William T. Freeman. I received my undergraduate degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (ACM Honors Class) in 2018.
