About Me

I am a second-year PhD student at Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA). I am a member of State Key Laboratory of Multimodal Artificial Intelligence Systems (MAIS), advised by Prof.Liang Wang and co-advised by Prof.Yan Huang. Prior to that, I obtained a B.Eng. in Automation from Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT).
