PhD in Computer Science · Stony Brook University

I am a second-year PhD student in Computer Science at Stony Brook University, supervised by Prof. Michael S. Ryoo. Prior to this, I worked as a research engineer at Shanghai AI Laboratory, in the in Content Generation and Digitization Team advised by Dr. Bo Dai. More previously, I received my B.Eng. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. My research focuses on robot learning, embodied AI, generative models, and computer vision. I am particularly interested in learning different visual representations for robot manipulation, and how to leverage all kinds of conditions to improve the performance, generalization and robustness of robot learning.
