๐ฆธ๐ปโโ๏ธ About Me
I am a final-year Computer Science Ph.D. candidate at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and a proud member of The Cake Lab research group. I feel extremely fortunate to be advised by my kind and wise advisor Prof. Tian Guo.
My research interest primarily lies in augmented reality (AR) systems and also extends to the broad areas in mobile computing, computer vision, and computer graphics. During my Ph.D. study, I focused on the topic of dynamic intelligent systems for immersive spatial computing. My research helps AR researchers and application developers to build immersive user experiences that safely and robustly adapts to different real-world environment conditions.
In the past, I also had the fortunate to work with and study from many awesome industry researchers during my time at Adobe Research, Google AR&VR, Kuaishou Y-tech Graphics AI team, and Baidu.
