• I am a Research Scientist at Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). Previously I was at the GenAI organization and before that I worked at FAIR. Prior joining Meta, I was a Senior Applied Scientist at Microsoft Cloud and AI from 2018 to 2020. I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan State University in 2018, where I was a member of the Computer Vision Lab lead by Professor Xiaoming Liu. In 2013, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Wuhan University.

• Since 2021, my main research focus is on video generation. Please check my Google Scholar for a list of publications.
