About Me

I received my Ph.D. degree from the school of Computer Science and Engineering at Nanjing University of Science and Technology (NJUST), honored to be supervised by Prof. Yazhou Yao. During my Ph.D., I was a long-term research intern at Zhejiang University, honored to be supervised by Prof. Wenguan Wang. Before that, I received my undergraduate degree from the college of Qian-Xuesen, Nanjing University of Science and Technology.
