🎓 I’m a second-year Ph.D. student at the Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML), University of Adelaide, where I am led by Dr. Lingqiao Liu and Feras Dayoub. Previously, I worked with Prof. Yifan Liu. In June 2022, I obtained my master’s degree from Sichuan University, supervised by Prof. Keren Fu. I have also gained valuable industry experience at SenseTime Technology and Shanghai AI Lab.
🔬 I’m interested in Embodied AI. My passion is to create autonomous physical machines and virtual agents that can self-improve through experience and help with daily tasks independently without human in the loop.
Update:
👯 I am currently a research intern at ByteDance Seed-Robotics in Beijing, China. Feel free to reach out for academic discussions and collaborations!
