Paris

I am currently a Ph.D. student at the ECE department @ Northwestern University. My advisor is Professor Ying Wu. I obtained my bachelor degree from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China(UESTC). My research interest lies in computer vision and machine learning. I am very fortunate to have interned at 360 AI Institute (Beijing, 2015), Microsoft Research Asia (Beijing, 2016), Adobe Research (San Jose, 2017), Baidu Research (Sunnyvale, 2018), NEC-Lab (San Jose, 2019) and Google Research (Seattle, 2020).

My research interests lie in computer vision and machine learning. I'm currently working on large-scale object detection with insufficient data.
