I am a Machine Learning Researcher at Qualcomm AI Research. I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from State University of New York at Buffalo (UB) in 2023, advised by Prof. Junsong Yuan.
Before that, I got B.Eng. from Tianjin University in 2018.
I received the Best Graduate Research Award and
Best First Year Achiever Award from the CSE department of UB.
My previous research experience lies in object understanding in videos and images including detection, segmentation, and tracking; open-set object understanding with vision and language.
