Currently I am a staff scientist in Weibo R&D. Before that I worked as tech lead in Vipshop US Inc and Banjo Inc. I got my Ph.D. in the department of Computer Science and Engineering, University at Buffalo, SUNY in 2015 under the supervision of Prof. Jason J. Corso. I got dual B.S. of Electrical Engineering and Finance from Tianjin University and Nankai University respectively.
