ABOUT ME

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Civil Engineering at University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Prof. Zhenhua Zhu. I also completed a Computer Sciences Master's degree at UW-Madison. Before moving to Madison, I received a Master's degree and Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from Tongji University, where my advisor is Prof. Hehua Zhu.

I have broad interests in the application of computer vision and machine learning in Civil Engineering. My current work focuses on building reliable human-machine interfaces (e.g. hand gesture, eye tracking) for human-robot collaboration in construction.
