I am a researcher studying multi-modality learning from videos, advised by Prof. Antonio Torralba and Prof. Josh Tenenbaum at MIT and MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab. Before that, I completed my PhD with the highest honor at Tsinghua University, where I was supervised by Prof. Andrew Chi-Chih Yao. My PhD work was supported by Microsoft Fellowship and Baidu Fellowship.


During my PhD, I was fortunate enough to work with:
