I am a senior student at ShanghaiTech University, currently applying to PhD programs with a research focus on the intersection of robotics and computer vision. My primary interest lies in developing algorithms for generalizable robotic manipulation by leveraging robotics foundation models and task-oriented perception.
In my junior year, I spent an exchange year at UC Berkeley, where I had the privilege of joining BAIR and collaborating with Toru Lin under Jitendra Malik. Additionally, I completed a summer research internship at UT Austin advised by Prof. Yuke Zhu.
