I am a fifth-year PhD student working on computational imaging/photography with Professor Frédo Durand at MIT EECS & CSAIL. Prior to this, I received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Tsinghua University in 2016 and 2019, respectively.
I focus on computational imaging and photography, which jointly design hardware (to optics level) and software (to compiler level) for high-dimensional (3D, high-speed, spectral, angular, et al.) or invisible (to human eyes) visual observations in macro- and micro-scale. Typical projects I work on can be categorized as high-dimensional visual computing from low-dimensional samplings, such as single-pixel imaging (from 1D photodiode signal to 2D image), snapshot compressive imaging (from a single coded 2D image to a video or hyperspectral images), neural microscopic fields (from a stack of angular microscopy images to a 3D video with uncompromised temporal resolution).
I am broadly interested in AI for accelerating scientific discovery and meeting social needs. I also worked on revealing the imaging threat of ambient light sensors on everyday screens, which is capable of resolving an image of the scene in front of the screen without accessing the selfie camera, and designing a privacy-preserving intradermal barcode and a robust recognition system as vaccine record and beyond (general on-patient medical record).
