I am a Research Scientist at Sharpa Robotics in Singapore. I received my Ph.D. in Robotics in 2026 from Zhejiang University, advised by Prof. Fei Gao . During my Ph.D., I was also a visiting scholar at Hybrid Robotics Group and Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research Lab (BAIR) , 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 Reinforcement Learning, Motion Planning, Multi-agent System.
Further information is available on my Google Scholar page, and my full CV can be found here .
