I am a first-year CS Ph.D. student at the School of Data Science, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-SZ), supervised by Prof. Kui Jia. I received my B.Eng. in Automation Engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology, Weihai (2021-2025). During my undergraduate studies, I conducted research at the Institute for AI Industry Research (AIR), Tsinghua University, and also worked as a research intern at DexForce Technology Co., Ltd.
My research interests lie in enabling intelligent systems to better perceive and interact with the physical world. In particular, I am interested in developing generalizable robotic manipulation policies, and exploring world models that support reliable and physically grounded decision-making.
