I am a Master student in Computer Technology at ZJU-UIUC Institute, Zhejiang University, advised by Gaoang Wang. Previously, I was fortunate to study at University of Illinois Urbana Champaign (UIUC) for six months as a Visiting Student and worked with Katherine Rose Driggs-Campbell. Earlier, I received my Bachelor degree in Applied Physics from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2023, advised by Xiaosong Zhu.

My research interest includes Human-Robot Interaction Assitive Robots and Embodied AI. My long-term goal is to develop intelligent household robots that can effectively integrate into daily lives, bring convenience to people’s lives and coexist harmoniously with humanity. If you are interested in my work or would like to talk about household robots, feel free to mail me!
