About Me

I received my bachelor's degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2026. In September 2026, I will join the School of Artificial Intelligence at Shanghai Jiao Tong University as a Ph.D. student, advised by Prof. Cewu Lu.

I am also affiliated with Shanghai Innovation Institute. I am interested in building robots that can perceive and respond reliably during physical interaction, especially by combining visual information with force feedback.

Research interests: robot manipulation, embodied AI, imitation learning, multimodal learning, and contact-rich interaction.
