Bio

Currently, I am a third-year Ph.D. candidate at University of Massachusetts Amherst under the advisory of Prof. Tongping Liu and Prof. Hui Guan. I got my B.Eng. degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.

My research interests mainly focus on the following topics:
 - Machine Learning System. improve ML performance (e.g., speed, scalability, reliability) through innovations in algorithms and programming systems
 - Multitask learning, model compression and sparse model acceleration.
 - Computer Vision in images and videos. Specifically, face recognition & generation using GANs.
