Biography

I am a coming PhD student in School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University. I am currently studying for a master's degree in department of automation, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), advised by Xueyang Fu and Zheng-jun Zha. I obatained my B. Eng. degree (GPA:3.86/4.00, rank 1/38) in Electrical Engineering and Automation, South China University of Technology (SCUT) in 2021.

My research interests focus on computer vision, especially behavior modeling, logic learning and low-level vision (deblurring, super-resolution and deraining).

I’m open to any kinds of collaboration. Please feel free to contact me directly through email.
