#Senior Research Scientist at OPPO

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the iVPL lab at Northwestern University, supervised by Prof. Aggelos Katsaggelos and Prof. Daniel Kim. My research focuses on deep learning and computer vision -based classification, detection, segmentation, and generation in manufacturing and medical imaging.

My first two years were spent studying automatic defect detection and thermal prediction during additive manufacturing; then, I worked on segmentation and unsupervised domain adaptation in MRI, CT, OCT, X-ray, etc. I am proficient in RNN, GRU, GNN, GAN, Transformer, etc.

Previously, I obtained a master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2019, supervised by Prof. Bin Li and Prof. Xinggang Wang. I received a Bachelor’s degree in Materials Processing and Control Engineering from Qiming College, HUST, in 2016.
