I’m a fourth year Computer Science Ph.D. student at UIUC. I’m fortunately advised by Prof. Shenlong Wang and Prof. Alex Schwing. My current research interests lie at 3D vision with a focus on human modeling. Before joining UIUC, I received my Master of Language Technologies from CMU and B.Eng. in Computer Science and Technology from Tsinghua University. Please find my latest CV here.
