Hi there Welcome to my Homepage!

I am a research intern at ByteDance Seed Robotics.

I received my bachelor’s degree from the SJTU-Paris Elite Institute of Technology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, majoring in French with a minor in Information Engineering.

During my undergraduate studies, I conducted research advised by Prof. Cewu Lu, working on simulated and real-world grasp evaluation pipelines. I also worked remotely with PAIR Lab under the supervision of Prof. Animesh Garg, where I focused on simulation for robotic grasping and generalized object manipulation. Moreover, I completed my graduation thesis under supervision by Prof. Jun-Guo Lu, working on reinforcement learning and behavior cloning for humanoid robot locomotion.

My research interests include embodied intelligence and robotic manipulation.
