I am now a Ph.D. student in the Media Lab, Dept. Electrical Engineering at The City College of New York, CUNY, advised by Professor Ying-Li Tian. My current research focuses on Hand Gesture and Human Activity Recognition. In 2014, I interned at SRI International, Sarnoff Research Lab as a research intern and worked on multi-modality driver state and behavior analysis. In 2015, I interned at Google Photos, at Mountain View, as a Software Engineering Intern.

Do you know that the harder thing to do and the right thing to do... are usually the same thing? Nothing that has meaning is easy. Easy doesn't enter into grown-up life
