Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou)
I am a first-year Ph.D. student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), advised by Prof. Renjing Xu. My research mainly focuses on two directions: humanoid robots, especially their interaction with objects and environments, and spatial intelligence.
Before starting my Ph.D., I received my M.EngSc degree in Robotics from the University of New South Wales in 2025, supervised by Dr. Jose Guivant, and my B.Eng. degree from Beijing University of Chemical Technology in 2022.
I had a memorable research internship at BNRist, Tsinghua University, from January to May 2025, where I worked with Dr. Yongliang Shi and Dr. Weining Lu. Earlier, from October 2021 to December 2022, I interned at AIR, Tsinghua University, working with Dr. Yongliang Shi and Prof. Guyue Zhou.
