My name is Handong Zhao. I am a senior research scientist at Adobe Research, San Jose, CA. I obtained the Ph.D. degree at Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Northeastern University, Boston, MA. Before joining Adobe, I have spent time at IBM Research. My current research interest includes machine learning and its applications to multimedia content analysis and marketing analytics. I was the recipient of the National Science Foundation’s Innovation Corps (I-Corps™) program award as an entrepreneurial lead.

[Internship] I am hiring self-motivated PhD student research interns (on a rolling basis), so please feel free to contact me if you are interested in working with me. My current research interests include (but not limited to) multimodal learning, domain adaptation, visual/textual entity retrieval/recognition, etc.
