at Lamma Island in 2023

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at Shanghai AI Lab and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, supervised by Dahua Lin and Jiangmiao Pang. I obtained my M.Phil. degree at The Chinese University of Hong Kong and B.Eng. degree at ShanghaiTech.

I have spent a wonderful time in Tencent Robotics X and Shanghai Qi Zhi Institute.

My previous research focus on robot learning from demonstrations. My current research focuses on humanoid robot learning. Outside of academics, I am an enthusiast of street/human photography.
