Hi 👋👋 I am a third year Ph.D student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at University of Notre Dame. My advisor is Prof. Toby Jia-Jun Li. Before joining Notre Dame, I received dual Bachelor degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) and University of Glasgow (Graduated with First-class honor degree). I also spent a wonderful year as research assistant at Center for Future Media, UESTC working with Prof. Jingkuan Song and Prof. Lianli Gao.
My research falls in the intersection of Human-AI collaboration, Computer vision, Computer audio and accessibility, where I leverage human-centered method to build human-AI collaborative systems to strengthen the AI power and to satisfy the practical needs of a variety of popluations.
