I am a first-year Ph.D. student at National University of Singapore in Department of Computer Science. My research interest lies in the intersection of Robotics, Reasoning and Decision Making with their applications in complex, real-world environments.

Previously, I worked as a Research Assistant with Prof. Max Q.-H. Meng . Before that, I was a visiting student at UC Berkeley from Aug. 2019 to Sep. 2020 working with Prof. Koushil Sreenath. I received my B.E. in Automation from the Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen in 2021.

I love playing basketball 🏀 and table tennis 🏓 in my free time. I am also open to collaborating with people to explore the possibilities of robotics in various fields.

Research

My current research topics cover motion planning, assistive robotics, and autonomous system design. My long-term research goal is to develop intelligent robots that can infer and interact with the dynamic and open world in long-horizon tasks
