I am currently a Research Scientist at ByteDance. Before this, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Meta. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Maryland, College Park, under the guidance of Prof. Abhinav Shrivastava. Prior to this, I completed my Master's degree in Pattern Recognition & Intelligent Systems at Huazhong University of Science & Technology (HUST), supervised by Prof. Guoyou Wang. I also hold a Bachelor's degree from the School of Optical and Electronic Information at HUST.
