Biography

Currently I am an Executive R&D Director at SenseTime.

I have started my new career leading the R&D team to build ToC applications using LLM and agentic AI. Some of our products, such as 咔皮记账, are already on the market and have made a good impact. I am really excited about the rapid evolution of LLM-related technologies worldwide and enjoy the experience of building innovative solutions.

Before that, I led the autonomous driving research, development, and product team at SenseTime, which I built from scratch since 2017. You can find more about it in 商汤绝影 official website.

I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2015. My supervisor is Prof. Jiaya Jia. Before that, I received the B.Eng. degree from the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Zhejiang University in 2011, under the supervision of Prof. Zhihua Zhang. I am also a member of Chu Kochen Honors College, which selects around 200 best students out of 5000 freshmen.

I am recruiting self-motivated agentic AI builders. If you are interested, please send your CV directly to my email.
