About Me

I was born in Shanghai, Nov. 1980. Later, I moved to Hangzhou, where I was brought up and finished my eduction from primary school to university. Both of the two cities are nice places to live.

I like traveling very much. Up till now, I have been to many famous cities and regions in five different countries (China, Japan, USA, Chile, Canada). I hope that I can travel around Europe and Africa asap. Now, the first place I want to go is Tibet, China.

I started to love photography during my trips to those interesting and famous cities. I learn photography just because I hope to record all the beautiful scenaries I have ever been to so that many years later I still can recall those precious memories.

Now I am a graduate student in the Department of Statistics in the University of California Los Angeles working on machine learning, computer vision and statistical learning/analysis.
