I am a Ph.D. student at the Center for Research in Computer Vision, University of Central Florida, advised by Prof. Chen Chen. Prior to that, I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Sichuan University in 2023. During my time as an undergraduate, I was fortunate to work with Prof. Jiancheng Lv on computer vision at the Data Intelligence and Computing Art Laboratory.

My research interests focus on computer vision and privacy-preserving machine learning. If you find any research interests that we might share, please feel free to reach out.
