I am a senior researcher at SenseTime Research, under the guidance of Jifeng Dai and Lewei Lu, specializing in Multimodal Large Language Models, Embodied AI, and Robot Learning. I collaborate closely with Xizhou Zhu and Hao Tian. My research interests include designing foundational models for robotics perception and manipulation.

I received my Ph.D. in Control Theory and Control Engineering from Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2024, where I was advised by Prof. Peng Wang. My research primarily focused on robot dexterous grasping and human-robot interaction. I had the privilege of collaborating closely with Yiming Li and Wei Wei on various projects in these areas.
