Biography
I am currently a Multimedia Software Manager at Kuaishou, leading a team that develops image and video restoration and editing tools for consumer products. My work focuses on bringing visual computing technologies into practical editing software used by creators and end users. I joined Kuaishou in 2020, and previously held positions in both Video Technology Department and Y-Tech. I was responsible for the development and deployment of practical image and video editing tools, as well as a comprehensive 2D digital human system for live streaming purposes.
Before that, I was a Research Engineer at YouTu X-Lab, Tencent, from 2018 to 2020. I obtained my Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 2018. My supervisor was Prof. Jiaya Jia. I received my B. Eng. degree in Information Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) in 2013, supervised by Prof. Guangqiang He.
