A Bit About Me

News
I am currently working with the Mobile Vision/Human Sensing Team at Google. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Utah in 2016. During my Ph.D. years, I worked with Dr. Tolga Tasdizen at the School of Computing and the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute. In 2010, I received my bachelor degree at the Northeastern University, China.

I live/work in Los Angeles, a definite metropolis by the largest ocean on the earth. I used to live/study/work in Salt Lake City, a cozy mountain town/metropolis.

The photo above was taken at the Canyonlands National Park, Utah in December 2013. I also post on Instagram at times.
