About Me

I am an Applied Scientist at Amazon AWS AI lab. My current research interests lie in Computer Vision and Deep Learning, especially transfer learning, out-of-domain generalization/detection, and etc.

I received my Ph.D degree from ECE Department, College of Engineering, Northeastern University, supervised by  Prof. Raymond Fu.  Prior to NEU, I obtained my Master degree at the Department of ECE, Carnegie Mellon University. During my master study, I worked with Prof. Min Xu at School of Computer Science and Dr.Christoph Mertz at Robotics Institute. Before joining CMU, I received my B.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
