Short Biography:
I am PhD student working with Raquel Urtasun in the Machine Learning Group, Computer Sicence Department, at the University of Toronto
(expecting to graduate in the summer, 2015)
Since September 2010, I worked with my adviser Raquel in Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago (TTIC), at the University of Chicago
and received my master degree there.
I studied as a Master Student in the Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Lab(2009-2010), Shanghai JiaoTong University, Shanghai, China.
I received the Bachelor Degree on Electrical Engineering(2005-2009) in Xi'an JiaoTong University, Xi'an, China.
