I am a third-year Ph.D. student at Virginia Tech, working with Prof. Jia-Bin Huang. My interest lies in the field of Computational Photography and Computer Vision. My current research is focusing on image/video manipulation and scene understanding.
Prior to that, I was a Master's student at the University of Michigan, working with Dr. Brian Moore, under the supervision of Prof. Raj Rao Nadakuditi. Going back even further, I was an undergraduate student at Oregon State University, working with Prof. Raviv Raich.
During the 2020 summer, I was lucky to be a research intern at Google, working with Dr. YiChang Shih and Dr. Wei-Sheng Lai. In 2019 summer, I was a research intern at Facebook Seattle, under the guidance of Dr. Johannes Kopf. Also, I had the great opportunity to work with Dr. Rich Caruana (Microsoft Research).
Please find my CV here (last updated on Sept. 2020).

I spent 6 years learning figure sketch, traditional Chinese painting, and Gongbi, specialized in Bird-and-flower painting.
Through painting, I find inner peace.
These days I enjoy drawing some anime characters for fun. Check them out.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
