About Me

I am a first-year Ph.D. student studying Robotics in the Kahlert School of Computing at the University of Utah. I’m a Research Assistant working in the Utah Learning Lab for Manipulation Autonomy (LL4MA Lab), where I’m advised by Professor Tucker Hermans. My research focuses on Robot Learning for Manipulation.

Previously, I earned my Master’s degree in Robotics from the University of Michigan, where I was advised by Professor Christoforos Mavrogiannis in the Fluent Robotics Lab. Before this, I graduated with a First Class Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at University of Nottingham, Ningbo, China (UNNC).

Aside from my academic pursuits, I am a passionate photographer (check my Gallery!) and anime enthusiast.
