I’m a researcher at Insta360 working on multimodal foundation models and generalist robot autonomy.
Previously, 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, where I focused on dexterous manipulation and interactive perception.
Intern positions are open, with sufficient compute resources (GPUs) available. Feel free to reach out if you are passionate about multimodal large language models and robotics.
