I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Mechanical Science and Engineering at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), under the supervision of Prof. Han Ding (Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences), Prof. Bo Tao (Changjiang Distinguished Professor), and Prof. Xingwei Zhao (recipient of the National Science Fund for Excellent Young Scholars).
I received both my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Science and Engineering from HUST in 2021 and 2025, respectively, where I was advised by Prof. Youping Chen and Prof. Jingming Xie. Prior to that, I obtained my B.S. degree from Hubei University of Technology in 2019. From 2023 to 2025, I was a visiting student at the A*STAR Centre for Frontier AI Research (CFAR), Singapore, where I worked under the supervision of Prof. Joey Tianyi Zhou and Dr. Jiawei Du.
My current research interest includes embodied AI, humanoid robotics, and multimodal fusion.
