Biography

I am currently a senior engineer in Huawei Noah's Ark Lab. Before that, I received the Ph.D. degree from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), supervised by Prof. Chi-Wing Fu; and the B.Eng. degree from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC).
Now I am still super passionate about computer graphics & 3D problems. 3D Reconstruction, Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality and Human-Computer Interaction fall within my research fields of interest.
