I am an MSR 🤖 student at CMU Robotics Institute, working on dexterous manipulation with Zackory Erickson and Jeff Schneider.
I am interested in enabling robots with human-level physical and cognitive intelligence.

More about me

I received my B.Eng. in Robotics 🤖 from SCUT (2026). Along the way I spent wonderful undergraduate years at HKUST (Guangzhou) (2026), CMU (2025), SJTU (2024), and UC Berkeley (2023), working with Haoang Li, Jiaoyang Li, Ding Zhao, and Zhongqiang Ren, where we did some fun projects spanning from classical planning to robot foundation models.

Research Collaboration:

I'm always excited to connect and collaborate with researchers who share a passion for robotics. Lately, I've been exploring a few fun ideas in each of the following areas and would love to find collaborators:

  • Dexterous Manipulation
  • Humanoid
  • Active Perception

Feel free to shoot me an email to hear more. I'd also love to hear your ideas and discuss what we could work on together! I'm also familiar with planning and happy to offer advice in that area.

Background

Miscellanea

  • I play badminton and was an athlete. Now I am also a rock-climbing rookie, thanks to a secret friend.
