About Me:

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer and Information Science.

I am working at the center for Human Modeling and Simulation. My research interest is computer graphics, in particular, character animation and motion analysis. My advisors are Professor Norman Badler and Professor Alla Safonova.

I received my B.S. from Zhejiang University, China and M.S. from University of Pennsylvania .
