I am a Senior Research Scientist at Netflix Eyeline Studios. Before that, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Vision & Graphics Lab at USC Institute for Creative Technologies from 2019 to 2021. I obtained my Ph.D. degree from Computer Science & Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) under the supervision of Pedro V. Sander in 2018, and received my M.S. and B.E. degreed from Zhejiang University (ZJU) in 2014 and 2011, respectively. I was a research intern in the Visual Computing Group at Microsoft Research Asia from 2017 to 2018, mentored by Jing Liao.

My research interests lie in Computer Graphics and Computer Vision, mainly focusing on computational photography and visual synthesis in both 2D and 3D domain.
