About
I am currently a master student at the School of Artificial Intelligence, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, advised by Prof. Kongming Liang and Prof. Zhanyu Ma at the Laboratory of Pattern Recognition and Intelligent System and Beijing Key Laboratory of Multimodal Data Intelligent Perception and Governance.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in a joint program between Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and Queen Mary University of London in 2024.
My current research focuses on Embodied AI. I am currently seeking PhD opportunities for Fall 2027. If you are interested in working with me, please feel free to email me :)
