I am a final-year undergraduate student majoring in Robotics, interested in enabling robots with human-level intelligence and ability, both physically and cognitively. I worked on planning, control and now robot foundation models. Currently I am seeking for collboration in active perception/mobile manipulation with robot foundation models.

Now I am visiting HKUST (Guangzhou). Previously, I worked as a research assistant at the CMU Robotics Institute and SJTU. I will return to CMU this summer and stay there for a couple of years.

Miscellanea

  • I am a former badminton athlete. Let's schedule a match!
  • I am from Shenzhen, China. I've also lived in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Berkeley, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Taipei through my undergraduate years. I am unlikely to stay at one place for long so that's why you never find me in Guangzhou(where my undergraduate institute is located)
