Hi, I am Dongping Chen (陈东平).

At present, I am working with Professor Tianyi Zhou at University of Maryland. Prior to this, I have the privilege of being a visiting student to University of Washington, where I work with Professor Ranjay Krishna and Senior PhD Jieyu Zhang. My academic journey has also been enriched by a collaboration with Lichao Sun, Xiangliang Zhang, and Yao Wan.
