Me
I'm a researcher at Adobe with the computational photography team led by Marc Levoy. We are building a software-defined camera leveraging computational photography and machine learning. In 2020, I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science, advised by Ren Ng. Prior to Berkeley, I got my B.S. from Rice University with a focus in computer vision under supervision of Ashok Veeraraghavan. When I am not with my computer, I bring a camera almost whereever I go. I was born and raised in Beijing.
