Biography

I am a senior researcher at Tencent AI Lab. I finished my PhD study in Electronic Engineering Department of City University of Hong Kong. I was also visiting Center for Cognition, Vision, and Learning (CCVL) of UCLA, during my PhD.

I have been working on several projects across different subjects/areas by Statistical Machine Learning, including Computer Vision with Prof. Alan Yuille, and Complex Network with Prof. Guanrong Chen. My current/prior research interests include Object 3D Reconstruction, and Reinforcement Learning.
