Biography
I am the Head of  AI and  General Manager at Huya Inc. I was a principal researcher and manager at Tencent AI Lab. Before returning to China, I worked as a senior  research scientist in
 the  Intel Visual Computing Lab, lead by the awesome Vladlen Koltun.
I received my Ph.D.   in  Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,
with my thesis committee of  Prof. Vikas Singh (advisor),
Prof. Chuck Dyer,
Prof. Jerry Zhu,
Prof.  Jude Shavlik,  and
Prof. Mark Craven.
I was a visiting student  in University of Toronto and in
  Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago,
both working with  the amazing Prof. Raquel Urtasun.
 Before graduate school, I  obtained my B.S. degree from
the Department of Computer Science and Technology
 at Nanjing
University, China.
 
     
We are hiring motivated researchers/engineers/interns. If you work on computer vision/graphics, deep learning, speech recognition, or natual langrage processing,   feel free to contact me.
