About
I am a Research Scientist at Adobe Research (A cute official chat 💬 ). I was previously an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science , University of Bath .
During my study, I was fortunate to work with Zoya Bylinskii , Prof. Rynson W.H. Lau , Prof. Dahua Lin , Steve Lin , Prof. Hanspeter Pfister , and Zhirong Wu .
Adobe Products . And 30 patents have been filed/published until end of 2025.
content generation & editing and data-driven graphic design . I am more focus on multi-modal control for customizing pixels, vectors, and 3D shapes.
We are actively looking for research interns. If you are interested in doing research project(s) at Adobe or remote collaboration with me, please drop me an email with your CV.
