I am currently a postdoc researcher at Aviz, Inria (supervised by Prof. Jean-Daniel) and CMAP, Ecole Polytechnique (supervised by Prof. Emmanuel Bacry) in France. I received my Ph.D. degree from CSE Department, HKUST (supervised by Prof. Huamin Qu). I have been working on the VisMOOC project since 2014 and won HKICT and APICT Awards. I received my B.Eng degree in Digital Media Technology, CS Department, ZJU in 2013.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching movies, sketching, doing sports, and travelling. I love exploring different languages and cultures. I can communicate in four languages (Mandarin, English, Japanese, Cantonese) and I am learning French now:P
