About Me

Hi there! I recently received my Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, where I worked with Prof. Xinjun Sheng on robot learning. I also had the opportunity to collaborate with Dr. Binglei Zhao on research in cognitive science and neuroimaging.

Starting this fall, I will be pursuing my Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington.

My research interests lie in human-robot interaction and multimodal information understanding.
