Bio

     I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Rochester with a focus on Computer Graphics VR, Sensor Design, Computer Architecture, and Robotics. My goal is to bridge the gap between hardware and software through system-level design and optimization.
     Previously, I earned my B.E. from Tsinghua University and my M.Sc. from Peking University. I have also interned at AMD and Cambricon Technologies. Find more details in my CV.
