About me

  • I am now a PhD candidate at the Multimedia Computing Group, Delft University of Technology, working with Dr. Julián Urbano and Prof. Alan Hanjalic. My primary research goal is to provide fast, accurate, satisfying, and convincing recommendations to people in need by creating novel methods and algorithms about user modeling, content analysis and collaborative filtering. I am particularly interested in the user fairness and application of deep learning in recommender systems.

  • I received my Master’s degree with cum laude from Tianjin University, China in 2017. My master thesis was about computer-aided diagnosis of breast cancer MR images, supervised by Prof. Wei Lu. Prior to that, I received my B.E. degree from Zhejiang University, China in 2014 under the supervision of Prof. Huimin Yu and Prof. Huiming Tang.

Miscellaneous

During my leisure time, I love traveling and experiencing this amazing world. Up till now I have been to 14 different countries and this number will keep improving. I am also a good badminton and table tennis player. Besides, I am a hardcore fan of Manchester United for more than 20 years. Glory Glory Man United!
