I am a Ph.D. student at the MMLab@NTU advised by Prof. Chen Change Loy and Prof. Bo Dai (2021-now). Previously, I completed my Master's degree from UC Davis advised by Prof. Yong Jae Lee (2018-2020), and my Bachelor's degree from Nankai University advised by Prof. Ming-Ming Cheng (2014-2018).
I am broadly interested in computer vision and related problems in machine learning. My previous research focuses on instance segmentation and object detection. Currently, I'm particularly interested in foundation model optimization.
