  Associate Researcher II

  Visual Computing Group

  Microsoft Research Asia, Beijing, China

 

I received the BS degree from the Academic Talent Program of Tsinghua University in 2007, and the PhD degree from the Department of Information Engineering in the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2011. I was an intern in Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) from 2007 to 2011. I joined MSRA in Aug. 2011. My research interests include computer vision and computer graphics.

Internship Opening: I am looking for interns with backgrounds on image editing, image search, or other vision/graphics topics.
