I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Machine Learning Group, CS Department, University of Toronto. My advisors are Prof. Raquel Urtasun and Prof. Richard Zemel. I am also part of Vector Institute and Waabi. From 2019-2021, I was also a research scientist at Uber-ATG Toronto, working with Prof. Raquel Urtasun. I received my B.S. degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University advised by Prof. Cewu Lu.

My research interests involve Machine Learning and Computer Vision. Prior to UofT, I spent a wonderful year working with Prof. Bo Li at UIUC as a research intern and did some works on trustworthy machine learning.
