CV
I work on Contact-Rich Manipulation at Dexterity, a robotics startup based in the Bay area, focusing on intelligent robots for Logistics.
Before joining Dexterity, I finished my Ph.D. in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) supervised by Prof. Edward H. Adelson. I also had the opportunity to work with Prof. Alberto Rodriguez. I recieved my B.E. degree from Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University.
During Ph.D., I studied Tactile Perception & Manipulation, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning.
Previously, I was fortunate to work in Knowledge Engineering Group, Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Jie Tang; Facebook AI Research, advised by Dr. Roberto Calandra.
