My research interest centers on using machine learning to design and control novel robotic systems.

I am a Postdoc at UC San Diego working with Xiaolong Wang and Mike Tolley, exploring data-driven approaches for robot design.

I completed my PhD from the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University coadvised by Katia Sycara and Zeynep Temel. My research is supported by the CMU Presidential Fellowship (2020 - 2021). Prior to this, I received my MS degree from the same department with Katia Sycara. I completed my BEng in Electronics and Information Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

I also spent time at Amazon Robotics, Microsoft, and a couple of early-stage startups.
