I am currently a PhD student at Robotics and Perception Group at University of Zurich, supervised by Prof. Dr. Davide Scaramuzza. I received my Bachelor degree in Detection, Guidance and Control from Beihang University (Beijing, China) in 2011 and Master degree in Computer Science from University of Zurich (Zurich, Switzerland) in 2016. From August to October 2019, I had the opportunity to work with Prof. Dr. Torsten Sattler at Chalmers University of Technology, exploring learning-based view synthesis for robust visual localization. My research interests include vision-based navigation, sensor fusion, robot state estimation and active vision.
