About me

I'm a Postdoctoral Fellow in VITA group at The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin), supervised by Prof. Zhangyang (Atlas) Wang. My research goal is to enable machine to create high-quality vision and multi-modality data.

Previously, I obtained my Ph.D degre (winner of the Best Thesis Award) from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), supervised by Prof. Bihan Wen. I received my B.Eng degree (2015-2019) in Software Engineering from Wuhan University.
