About

Hello, here is Hana.

I'm currently a Lead Software Engineer at Disney+, where I focus primarily on Computer Vision, developing AI-powered solutions for video understanding, enhancement, and generative media. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at Peking University in 2016 and earned my Master's degree in 2019 under the guidance of Prof. Yuru Pei.

Before joining Disney+, I spent around two years at SenseTime, specializing in autonomous driving, with a primary focus on perception research. My technical expertise spans object detection, instance segmentation, and medical image analysis, including registration and segmentation. I'm passionate about leveraging AI to create meaningful impact and actively seek opportunities for collaboration on cutting-edge research and applied projects.

In addition to my work in AI, I am also a singer and independent musician. Music has been a lifelong passion, and I enjoy exploring the intersection of creativity and technology—both in my research and in my artistic pursuits.
