Biography

I am a software engineer at Nvidia DriveIX. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California in 2017 advised by Prof. C.-C. Jay Kuo. I received my B.S. at Hebei University of Technology in 2011 where I worked with Prof. Kewen Xia.

My primary research interest lies in machine learning, deep learning and computer vision.
