About Me
I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, advised by Professor Stanley Chan in the Intelligent Imaging Lab. I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
My research interests are in computer vision, geometric perception, and computational imaging. I am especially interested in practical perception problems where physical structure can make learned models more interpretable and reliable. My current doctoral research focuses on monocular metric depth estimation and uncertainty for 3D perception.
Seeking Summer 2027 internships in computer vision, 3D perception, and machine learning research and engineering.
Available from May 2027.
