Biography

I am currently an Assistant Professor of CAIR, Hong Kong Institute of Science & Innovation, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Before joining CAIR, I was a Researcher in Huawei Hong Kong Research Center, and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, working with Prof. Pheng-Ann Heng and Prof. Qi Dou. I received my Ph.D. degree from the University of Chinese Academy of Science (UCAS), in the joint program at ShanghaiTech University, supervised by Prof. Shenghua Gao (Now Associate Professor at the University of Hong Kong). Before that I received my B.Eng degree from Northwestern Polytechnical University.


We are hiring!!! We currently have several opennings for both research assistant and research intern. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me via email.
