I am an MSR π€ student at CMU Robotics Institute, working on dexterous manipulation with Zackory Erickson. I am interested in enabling robots with human-level physical and cognitive intelligence.
More about me
I received my B.Eng. in Robotics π€ 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.
