I am currently an Assistant Professor at the School of Artificial Intelligence, Jilin University. I received my Ph.D. from HKUST in 2025 (advisor: Prof. Qifeng Chen) and my Master’s from the University of Birmingham (advisor: Prof. Jeremy Wyatt). My research interests span dexterous hands, tactile multimodality, and long-term autonomy in humanoid robots.
I lead the Embodied Intelligence and Robotics Lab (EIRL), where we develop algorithms and systems that endow robots with intelligence—enabling them to perceive, reason, act, and assist humans effectively in real-world environments.
Openings: I will have one Ph.D. position and 2–3 Master's openings each year. Feel free to reach out if you're interested!
招生信息: 我每年招收一名博士生和两到三名硕士生,欢迎感兴趣的同学联系我!
