👋 I am a student researcher at 
Microsoft and a final year M.S. student at the Technical University of Denmark with the Full Tuition Fee Waiver (30 per year). Previously, I was an intern in computer vision at 
Teton and 
Volvo Cars, and I am a research assistant at 
UCLA. I received my bachelor’s degree from Tongji University with the Outstanding Graduate Honor and conducted research at the Institute of Intelligent Vehicles (TJU-IIV) directed by Prof. Yanjun Huang and Prof. Hong Chen.
My experience focuses on computer vision and robot learning with deep learning and generative models. I am searching for full positions in 2025
