Personal Profile

Hi! I am an incoming Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) for Fall 2026, where I will be supervised by Prof. Yinghao Xu. Currently, I am working as a research intern at Ant Group. I am pursuing and will receive my Bachelor of Engineering in Industrial Design (Mechanical) from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU).

In Fall 2025, I was an exchange student in CSE at HKUST, where I also served as a visiting student in the HKUST Aerial Robotics Group. During my undergraduate studies at SJTU, I worked as a research intern at the Global Institute of Future Technology, under the supervision of Prof. Tong Qin. Prior to this, I worked as a research intern at the College of Computer Science and Technology, Zhejiang University, supervised by Prof. Lingyun Sun and Prof. Liuqing Chen, and at the School of Oceanography, SJTU, supervised by Prof. Zheng Zeng.

My research focuses on deploying intelligent robotic systems in the physical world, with developing scalable data acquisition paradigms to facilitate generalizable dexterous manipulation in unstructured environments.
