Curriculum vitæ

I am a Ph.D. student in CSAIL of MIT EECS, under the supervision of Prof. Antonio Torralba and Prof. Stefanie Jegelka. Previously I worked with Prof. Sanja Fidler as a visiting student at University of Toronto and Prof. Min Sun as an undergraduate researcher at National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. My research mainly focus on deep learning and its applications in Machine Learning and Computer Vision. In particular, I am interested in representation learning, statistical learning, and trustworthy machine learning.
