I’m a first-year Phd student from Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The University of Hong Kong. I am fortunate to be advise by Prof.Evan Peng. Previously, I received my Master’s degree in Optical Engineering from Zhejiang University, fortunate to be advised by Prof.Cuifang Kuang. Previously, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Opto-Electronics Information Science and Engineering from Zhejiang University. My research interests include computational imaging. Specifically I am working on phase retrieval and inverse algorithms. You can find my CV here.
