About

I am a PhD student (2024 - present) at University of Notre Dame in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, supervised by Prof. Fanxin Kong. I also work closely with Prof. Insup Lee and Prof. Oleg Sokolsky. I received my B.E. in Software Engineering from Shandong University in 2019 and my M.S. in Computer Technology from Lanzhou University in 2023.

My research interests include robot learning, cyber-physical systems, vision-language-action models, and world models.
