More about me...<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was born and raised in Guangzhou<\/a> (Canton), China. I was originally from the Hainan<\/a> Island. Before moving to the UK and joining the machine learning group at Cambridge<\/a>, I worked on different projects<\/a> in my undergraduate years, and graduated with a B.S. degree in Mathematics from the\u00a0Dept. of Mathematics<\/a>,\u00a0Sun Yat-sen University<\/a>, China, in June 2013. Before that I studied at Zhixin High School<\/a> in Guangzhou.<\/p>\n

I have a twin sister Yinghong (\u6620\u8679) who now works as a CV & ML research engineering lead at ByteDance AI Lab<\/a> (\u5b57\u8282\u8df3\u52a8\u4eba\u5de5\u667a\u80fd\u5b9e\u9a8c\u5ba4). ByteDance<\/a> is a rising Chinese tech giant that develops TikTok<\/a> and Toutiao<\/a> apps with AI technologies.<\/p>\n
