简介
About

I'm currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing and a Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence at the University of Georgia. I'm also a Lilly Teaching Fellow.

I have spent wonderful years at the following places. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Associate at Cornell Tech, working with Prof. Noah Snavely. I received my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Maryland, advised by Prof. David Jacobs. I was in a 3+2 program, receiving a Master's degree in Computer and Information Science from Temple University, advised by Prof. Haibin Ling, and a Bachelor's degree in Automation from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC).
