About me

I am a senior research scientist at NVIDIA, working on machine learning, speech and natural language processing. Before that, I was the TTS Team Lead at Baidu Research. I obtained my PhD in computer science from University of California, Irvine in 2016. Prior to that, I got master's degree from Tsinghua University, and bachelor's degree from Harbin Institute of Technology. I am passionate about building the state-of-the-art generative models for various domains, including audio, text and video.
