About me
Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
Welcome to my page! I am currently a research scientist at Facebook. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering, advised by Prof. Min Wu from the University of Maryland, College Park. I received a B.S. degree in electrical engineering – automation at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China in 2010 and a M.S. degree in electrical engineering – automation, advised by Prof. Jianxun Li at Shanghai Jiaotong University in Shanghai, China in 2014. You may find my CV here.
