Biography

Hi, there! I am now a Software Engineer at Tesla, working on Maps, Navigation & Autopilot.

I recently graduated with my master of engineering degree in EECS from UC Berkeley. My concentation is Data Science & Systems. I worked with Prof. Anant Sahai for a year on a data pipeline for spectrum (link).

Before that, I was a undergraduate student from College of Engineering, Unversity of Michigan, where I double major in Computer Science and Data Science, with a minor in Mathematics. My research interests is Human-Computer Interaction, Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence.

During my undergraduate time, I was actively involved in research. I was a research assistant at LIT group, advised by Prof. Rada Mihaclea. Besides, I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Eric Gilbert and Prof. Eshwar Chandrasekharan at comp.social Lab, and by Prof. Atul Prakash on ML & Security.

Please free to connect me for any startup or project ideas!
