I am an associate researcher in the Web Search & Mining Group at Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) in Beijing.

I received my B.S. and PhD degree from the University of Science and Technology of China in July 2004 and 2009 respectively.

My major research interests include sketch-based image search, shape understanding, web image retrieval and annotation, image understanding, travel route mining, etc.

I am seeking an intern now. Please send email to me if you are interested in the internship in Microsoft Research Asia.
