About Me

I am a Research Scientist at Meta Reality Labs in the XR Codec Interaction and Avatar (XRCIA) Action Decoder team.

I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Purdue University, under the supervision of Prof. Karthik Ramani. I obtained my M.S. degree in ECE in Georgia Institute of Technology, working with Prof. Patricio Vela. Prior to that, I studied Instrument Science and Technology in Beihang University and became a B.Eng.

My research interests lie in the intersection of AI and HCI. Specifically, I study applied CVML algorithms and their applications across various platforms including AR, MR, Robots, etc. I enjoy building interactive systems that utilize the state-of-the-art AI algorithms and designing user-friendly interactions to deploy the AI in real world applications.
