About Me
I am a first-year Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, supervised by Prof. Derek Hoiem.
I obtained my master's degree from the University of Southern California, advised by Prof. Laurent Itti and Prof. Ram Nevatia. Before that, I got my B.S. degree from Fudan University.
My research interests mainly lie in computer vision, especially in:
Video understanding: helps models gain the ability to process unlimited long videos.
Explainable AI: gives insights into how models perceive the world to enable a transparent latent space.
Robustness: real-world robust learning systems; robustness to image distortions and adversarial examples.

Blog
A place to record my feelings, exploration, and growth. I intend to be casual here, so I decided to use Mandarin for some posts.
