I am currently working with the School of Information Science and Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, China. I received the Ph.D. degree (advised by Ting-Zhu Huang) from the School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China, in 2022.

My current interests include high-dimensional image processing, machine learning and its theoretical foundations, tensor modeling and computing.
