I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Information Sciences and the Coordinated Science Laboratory at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I am also affiliated with the Siebel School of Computing and Data Science (formerly the Department of Computer Science), the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, and the Illinois Informatics Institute.

My research lies at the intersection of computer vision and machine learning – with a special focus on building intelligent visual systems that are continual and data-efficient. My research interests include continual learning, few-shot learning, semi-supervised learning, generative models, 3D geometry models, and medical imaging.

Previously, I completed my PhD in Computer Science at Max Planck Institute for Informatics and my BS in Electronic Information Engineering at Tianjin University. I also spent time at Johns Hopkins, Oxford VGG, and National University of Singapore. My biography is here.

We have multiple PhD student openings in Information Sciences, Computer Science, and Informatics for Fall 2026. You may see details here.
