I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Sun Yat-sen University, gratefully advised by Prof. Hui Cheng and co-advised by Assoc. Prof. Xu Yang.
I am passionate about robotics, particularly how robots interact with the real world. Before starting my PhD, I explored the design and autonomous grasping of underwater robots. My current research focuses on dexterous manipulation and interactive perception.
Fitness helps me stay vigorous and inspires me to push my limits. Recently, I have been practicing tennis in my free time.
