About Me

I am a final-year undergraduate student at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, studying Computer Engineering with a minor in Robotics. My research is in embodied AI — building models that let robots understand the world well enough to act in it.

I am currently a Research Intern at Sangfor Technologies, supervised by Prof. Xiaobo Wang. I have spent three years with HKUST RoboMaster Team ENTERPRIZE, where I now serve as Senior Advisor.

I am looking for potential collaborations. If you are interested in my experience, please feel free to reach out.
