About
I am a third-year undergraduate student in Engineering Mechanics at Shanghai Jiao Tong University,
where I am advised by
Prof. Daolin Ma,
and I am currently conducting research at Carnegie Mellon University with
Prof. Howie Choset.
My research interests lie in robotic manipulation, dexterous manipulation, deformable object modeling, and
skill learning for long-horizon tasks. In particular, I am interested in building robotic systems that can
robustly perceive and manipulate complex deformable objects in real-world environments.
