About Me                                             

I received my Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Connecticut in 2005. My Ph.D. advisor was Prof. Martin D. Fox. Before I came to the U.S., I was trained in mathematics in China and got my B.S. and M.S. degrees in Math. My research interests include image processing, computer vision, medical imaging, and applied mathematics.
