About Me

I am a Ph.D. student at VIU Lab, Johns Hopkins University. I obtained my bachelor's degree from Dept. of Computer Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in May, 2020. During my three years at UIUC, I have fortunately conducted research at Image Formation and Processing Group. I was an intern at Epic Games (2023), Adobe (2022-2023), Microsoft (2021) and Horizon Robotics (2019).

My recent research focuses on controllable synthesis and editing of human faces in 2D/3D, where I build algorithms, complete systems and applications in modern generation frameworks [Holo-Relighting, LightPainter].
My early research helps resolve inverse problems in computational photography [NLSN, CSNLN] and advance private-preserving ML [FLANC].
I am open to the internship opportunities for 24 Fall.
