Bio

I am a Ph.D. student (Fall 2018 - present) co-advised by Prof. Jinhui Xu and Prof. Changyou Chen. I received my B.E. degree from Zhejiang University.
I'm broadly interested in machine learning and deep learning.
I worked as a Research Intern with Chunyuan Li (Microsoft Research, Summer 2020), Ruiyi Zhang (Adobe Research, Summer 2021).
