I am a Ph.D. student supervised by Dr. Ming-Jing Li. During the years of 2002-2005, I have worked as a research intern in Web Search and Mining Group, Microsoft Research Asia. My work in MSRA was targeting mobile information search and browsing and my research mentor is Dr. Xing Xie. Here is an interesting report on my latest work at MSRA.

Recently, I visited the Interactive Communication Media and Contents Group of National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Japan (NICT) and worked there as an embedded researcher with Dr. Hisashi Miyamori.

I am interested in the topics of multimedia information retrieval, human-computer interaction and computer vision.
