I am a Master student in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. My research interests include CV-based robot manipulation and application of machine learning in controls. I will graduate in June 2025 with a Master of Science.
I recently graduated from the University of Michigan where I majored in Mechanical Engineering, concentrating on Robotics, minoring in Electrical Engineering.
I am originally from Shanghai, China, and love to play drums and electric guitar. I love to fix my old Honda in my spare time. I would like to be a control engineer in the fascination of machine automation. I have a few experiences developing robotic control algorithms and have played the KINOVA KORTEX arm for a while. I attended Engineering Honors Program in the realization of contributing to our community using robotics technology.
I worked with Services for Students with Disabilities and volunteered as a notetaker throughout my university to provide in-class notes for needed students. I have been a mentor for a year in the student organization Badger Mentorship. I was also the Second Contact of the student organization Majsoul Club.
During this internship, I engineered and expanded the commercial application's functionalities, including point cloud I/O, filtering, segmentation, and more, utilizing the Point Cloud Library under the framework of NodeEditor and Qt-based GUI. I also developed a script using open-source machine learning APIs to label Deli's freight items, contributing to the creation of a learning dataset for FANUC's identification machine learning. I ended with this internship by authoring code documents, READMEs, dependencies in CMake files and drafted tutorials on creating a portable development environment on bootable devices to meet quick development needs.
This project designs and utilizes a model predictive controller to control a robot arm to wield a paddle and send a ball to a certain height by bouncing it on the paddle. Simulations are conducted to realize the project in a virtual environment. A full stack development from algorithm to hardware implementation is also performed. This research is conducted in Özay's Lab supervised by Kwesi Rutledge, Andrew Wintenberg, and Professor Necmiye Özay.
This project uses the hardware, software, and haptic interfaces in the embedded systems laboratory. It was to develop an adaptive cruise control system allowing different lab groups to interact over the network and receive both visual feedback from a computer monitor as well as haptic feedback.
