I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Robotics at FASTLab, Zhejiang University, advised by Prof. Fei Gao and Prof. Chao Xu. I am also a visiting student scholar at Hybrid Robotics Group, UC Berkeley, advised by Prof. Koushil Sreenath.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in 2021 from the College of Control Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, and was concurrently a member of the ACEE (Advanced Honor Class of Engineering Education) at Chu Kochen Honors College.

My primary research interests lie in Motion Planning, Multi-agent System, Reinforcement Learning.

Further information is available on my Google Scholar page.
