I am a postdoctoral researcher at MIT, working with William T. Freeman, Josh Tenenbaum, and Antonio Torralba. I obtained my Ph.D. from UC Berkeley after spending five wonderful years at CMU and UC Berkeley with Alexei A. Efros. I received my B.E from Tsinghua University. I study computer vision, computer graphics, and machine learning with the goal of building intelligent machines, capable of recreating our visual world.
