Currently, I am a graduate student in Simon Fraser University. I obtained my Bachelor degree from Southeast University in Nanjing, China. In the last few months of my undergraduate study, I worked on the exciting face project with Dr. Stan Z. Li in Beijing. After that, I joined in University of Houston as a graduate student and worked with Dr. Ioannis Kakadiaris for about one year. Then, I moved to a lovely city in Canada, Vancouver, where I work with Greg Mori on human action recognition and human pose estimation. I interned in Google research from June to December in 2010, and from June to August in 2011, where I worked with George Toderici, Emre Sargin, and Jay Yagnik on video content analysis.
