I'm currently a research assistant at CIS, University of Pennsylvania, under the supervision of Professor Jiatao Gu. Previously, I finished my undergraduate study at Columbia College, Columbia University in New York with a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science. I was fortunate enough to be advised by Professor Changxi Zheng at Columbia Computer Graphics Group, where I also learnt a lot from Dr. Rundi Wu. My research interestes include computer vision, computer graphics, and generative modeling.
