I'm currently a Member of Technical Staff in the Computer Vision Laboratory of Sarnoff Corporation in Princeton, NJ. I graduated from the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Dec. 2005. I received my MS degree from Department of Computer Science, University of Nevada, Reno in August 2002. I got my BS degree in the Department of Computer Science, University of Science and Technology of Beijing, China in July 2000. My interests are in Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, Image Processing and Human-Computer Interaction.

Research
I developed a set of non-invasive vison-based technqiues for the human facial behaviors understanding, the details about my thesis work can be found here .
