About me

I am a Senior Research Engineer at the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), A*STAR, Singapore, and a Ph.D. student at School of Computing, NUS, supervised by Professor Mohan Kankanhalli. I received the B.S. degree from Wuhan University in 2016, and the M.S. degree from National University of Singapore in 2018.

Machine learning, computer vision, and neuro-symbolic AI, with an emphasis on video understanding and reasoning.
