Currently I am a senior researcher at MetaMind. Before that I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher Scholar at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with Prof. Song-Chun Zhu (from Jun 2014 to Sep 2015). I got my Ph.D. in the department of Computer Science and Engineering, University at Buffalo, SUNY in 2014 under the supervision of Prof. Jason J. Corso. And I got his B.S. and M.S. of Computer Science degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology(HUST) in the year 2005 and 2007 in China..
