My Goals

1. Be a iron-willed person. I do my best to go through everything patiently.
2. Do researches helpful to people. Make a difference in our lives.
3. Respect everyone. Grades of jobs and place do not matter. Ourself matter.

Research

My research interests are in pattern recognition and image processing. I am especially interested in recognizing visual objects with their structure. Also structural data, such as chemical compounds, is my research target.
