Research Interests

Human-Robot Interaction, Scene Understanding, Robot Perception

Brief Intro

I am currently a researcher at the Shenzhen Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics for Society in Shenzhen. I earned my PhD in Computer and Information Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, in 2024. My research focuses on robotics, computer vision, and machine learning. I was fortunate to work with Professor Yangsheng Xu and Professor Tin Lun Lam during my studies.
