I am a M.S. in Robotics student at CMU advised by Deepak Pathak. I also work with Prof. Koushil Sreenath at UC Berkeley. I received my B.S. from Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT). During my undergrad, I worked on Reinforcement Learning based ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) advised by Prof. Ching-Yao Chan at Berkeley PATH.

I love snowboarding 🏂 and scuba diving 🤿 in my free time, checkout more here.
