Biography

I am currently the Chief Scientist (首席科学家) of Mech-Mind Robotics. Previously, I received my EECS PhD from MIT, working with Prof. Russ Tedrake.

I am generally interested in robotics, with subfields including manipulation, planning && control, and 3D perception. I also enjoy writing interesting softwares, especially those deployed on real robots (e.g., KiloBot language backend). Some of my works are open-sourced.
