I am an incoming Robotics PhD student at CMU Robotics Institute. I am broadly interested in robot learning, especially RL, imitation learning and their application in robotics. My goal is to develop algorithms for real-world challenges, such as robust and generalizable robot manipulation.

Previously, I obtained Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science and Technology from Yao Class at Tsinghua University. I spent my junior year as a research intern at UC San Diego advised by Prof. Xiaolong Wang. I also worked with Prof. Yi Wu at IIIS, Tsinghua University.
