About me

3nd-year PhD student in Computer Science, University of Hamburg, Knowledge Technology (WTM) group, advised by Prof. Stefan Wermter.

M.Sc in Computer Science and Technology, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, advised by Prof. William Zhu, 2018-2021.

B.E. in Spatial Information and Digital Technology, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, advised by Prof. Fen Chen, 2014-2018.

I am deeply interested in the critical methodologies driving Embodied Intelligence, particularly Reinforcement Learning, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Robotics. In humanoid robot development, three key components shape their capabilities: the Brain, the Cerebellum, and the Body. My current research focuses on two of these aspects:

  • Brain – Leveraging LLMs for planning in long-horizon bimanual robotic tasks.

  • Cerebellum – Developing bimanual manipulation skills using foundation models.

Through my work, I aim to bridge high-level reasoning and planning with low-level motion control, pushing the boundaries of intelligent robotic systems.

The Future of Embodied Intelligence is Now.
