Robotics PhD at UMich
I am a PhD candidate of Robotics Department at University of Michigan (UMich), where I work on legged robot control and learning with professor Yanran Ding and previously collaborated with Dr. Maani Ghaffari and Dr. Elena Shrestha. Prior to that, I received my bachelor degree from Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), majoring in Robotics Engineering. Advised by professor Wei Zhang, I had a great research experience on MPC and RL of quadruped robots.
I am particularly interested in agile legged locomotion in dynamic environments, with a focus on control and learning methods, and proficient in developing efficient and deployable robotic algorithms. When I'm not immersed in technology, you can find me swimming or playing badminton.
