Biography
I am a research scientist at Meta. Before that, I obtained my PhD in computer science at the State University of New York at Buffalo, where I was advised by Prof. David Doermann and Prof. Junsong Yuan. Prior to this, I received my B.Eng in Computer Science from Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU) in 2020. During my undergraduate study at XJTU, I was fortunate to be advised by Ziyi Liu and Prof. Le Wang at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.
