About Me
Hello! I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at NYU Courant and part of the CILVR group. I am also affiliated with NYU Center for Data Science. Before that I was a research scientist at Facebook AI Research (FAIR), Menlo Park. I received my Ph.D. and M.S. degrees from CSE Department at UC San Diego, advised by Zhuowen Tu. During my PhD study, I also interned at NEC Labs, Adobe, Facebook, Google, DeepMind. Prior to that, I obtained my bachelor degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. My primary areas of interest in research are computer vision and machine learning.
Most of what humans know, and nearly all of what animals know, is acquired through sensory experiences, with vision playing a particularly crucial role. My research focuses on advancing robust visual intelligence - the creation of scalable and reliable intelligent systems that can interpret visual events, answer questions about them on demand, and develop a common sense understanding of the world.Research Group
