I am a senior researcher at SenseTime Research, under the guidance of Jifeng Dai. My primary research interests lie in Multimodal Large Language Models, Embodied AI, and Robot Learning, with a specific focus on designing foundational models for robotic perception and manipulation.
I received my Ph.D. from Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2024. My research primarily focused on robot dexterous grasping and human-robot interaction.
