I started my Computer Science PhD study in 24 Fall at University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), advised by Professor Miguel Eckstein in Vision and Image Understanding Lab (VIU).

My research interests lie at the intersection of computer vision and cognitive psychology. Currently, I focus on developing computational models for human scene understanding. I am also interested in the emergent behavior of deep learning models that align with or differ from human behavior, and investigating what’s the reason behind that.

Before attending UCSB, I earned my master degree Master of Computational Data Science (MCDS) degree of the Language Technologies Institute (LTI) in the School of Computer Science (SCS) at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). advised by Prof.Tai Sing Lee . Before attened CMU, I have received me bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology from Zhejiang University (ZJU) in China, supervised by Prof.Zhaopeng Cui. I was also minor in Psychology during undergraduate studying.
