Profile

I am a Chair Professor in USTC. We are hiring professors, researchers and post-docs in Shanghai and Hefei!

Before joining NIO in 2020.08 and USTC in 2025.09, I co-founded an autonomous driving software startup Momenta.ai in 2016.09-2020.07, which grew into unicorn in three years, aiming to help people live a better life with improved safety and efficiency of driving through artificial intelligence.

Before that I got my PhD degree in a joint Ph.D program between University of Science and Technology of China and Microsoft Research Asia. My supervisor is Dr. Jian Sun. Prior that, I received my B. Eng degree from the same department in 2011.
