I build robot intelligence that can <strong>understand context</strong>,
18-
<strong>act through contact</strong>, and <strong>recover when reality
19-
diverges from the plan</strong>.

I work on tactile perception, dexterous manipulation, multimodal robot
18+
learning, and real-robot adaptation. My focus is on building learning
19+
systems that can improve through interaction, tactile feedback, and
20+
accumulated experience.

My work connects cognitive science with tactile perception, dexterous
23-
manipulation, real-robot learning, and runtime systems. I care about
24-
the full loop—from sensing and representation to execution,
25-
evaluation, and continuous correction.

I received my bachelor's degree in Photoelectronic Science and

Technology (basically laser stuff :) ) from Southwest University of
25+
Science and Technology in China, and my master's degree in Sensor and
26+
Cognitive Psychology from Chemnitz University of Technology in Germany,

I am broadly interested in the intersection of machine learning and
35+
human–robot interaction. My long-term goal is to build robots that can
36+
learn from human interaction and continue improving through their own
37+
experience. I am particularly interested in bio-inspired learning and
38+
insights from cognitive science.
