I’m a Research Manager at Insta360, interested in multimodal panoramic perception and flying embodied intelligence.

Previously, I earned my Ph.D. from Sun Yat-sen University, under the supervision of Prof. Hui Cheng and Prof. Xu Yang, specializing in robot dexterous manipulation.

Join us: Our team is expanding! We are hiring at all levels (leads, full-time, interns) to push the boundaries of VLM and embodied agents. We offer abundant GPU clusters and a collaborative R&D environment.
