Ph.D. University of Southern California
I received my Ph.D. degree from University of Southern California, where I conducted research within the Robot Locomotion and Navigation Dynamics Lab (RoboLAND) under the guidance of Professor Feifei Qian and collaborated with Professor Daniel Seita. My general research interests focus on Machine Learning and Robotics, with recent works focus on VLA model, RL fine-tuning for long-horizon tasks and optimization.
Expertise Areas: Reinforcement Learning, Mobile manipulation, Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model, Robot Learning, Diffusion Models, Multi-robot System
