LAPD (Luciferase Assisted Proteome Detection) Platform for Plant Systems Biology

Beyond the research, I learned so much about the world and myself through the program. I'd like to thank everyone who made China a place that I'll miss for many years to come. Hopefully not too many...

How can Representation Learning Deal with the Problem of Nuisance Variability in Computer Vision?

I'm happy for my choice to work here this summer. I improved the results of my UCLA PhD project and worked in 2 new projects as well. It seems my research in PKU will lead to at least one publication.

Accelerating the Reservoir Simulator using Circuit Simulation Techniques

We learn a lot from each other on the way of thinking and dealing with problems.  So I think the most important knowledge I gained is how to collaborate and discover common research interests with people in different research area.
