I graduated with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stony Brook University in the summer of 2024. My thesis advisor was Prof. Chao Chen. Before joining Stony Brook University, I completed my M.Sc. at the National University of Singapore under the supervision of Prof. Ying Sun. I obatined my B.S. degree from Lanzhou University. I worked at ADSC from 2013 to 2016, and later briefly joined Singapore University of Technology and Design and Vi Dimensions as a software engineer.
Research Interests
My research focus on computer vision, deep learning, topological data analysis, and parallel computations with GPU.
