I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science of the University of Pittsburgh. Before studying at Pitt, I worked as a software engineer at Baidu Inc. for five years.

I am now advised by Dr. Kovashka, working on the thesis study "Multimodal knowledge integration for object detection and visual reasoning". My research interests lie broadly in the combination of computer vision and natural language processing, including multi-modal learning, knowledge representation, weakly supervised object detection and scene parsing. I had also worked on mobile object detection and face thumbnailing studies.

I got both of my bachelor's and master's degrees (2004-2011) from Beihang University (previously known as Beijing Univeristy of Aeronautics and Astronautics). My advisor in the graduate school of Beihang was Dr. Jiang.
