About me

I am currently in my first year of the Ph.D. program at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities (UMN), advised by Prof. Catherine Qi Zhao.

I previously earned my Master's degree in Computer Engineering from New York University (NYU). At NYU, I had the honor of joining the AI4CE LAB as a research intern, exploring autonomous vehicle perception, working with Yiming Li, and advised by Prof. Chen Feng.

Prior to this, I earned my bachelor degree in software engineering from Chongqing University (CQU). where I was fortunate to conduct research on Multi-spectral Pedestrian Detection under the guidance of Prof. Jin Xie.

My current research interests include vision & language, human attention, and 3D vision, with the goal of developing human-centered, interpretable AI systems.
