Biography
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle. My advisor is Prof. Dieter Fox. My research focuses on understanding objects and scenes from images and videos, with emphasis on recognizing both semantic and 3D geometric properties of objects and scenes. My current work attempts to develop 3D representation and recognition methods for objects and scenes which can be useful for real world applications. I received Ph.D. in computer vision from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 2016 advised by Prof. Silvio Savarese, M.S. degree in computer science from Fudan University in 2010 advised by Prof. Xiangdong Zhou, and B.S. degree in computer science from Fudan University in 2007.
