About Me

Hello! I am a third-year Ph.D. student at the University of Maryland, College Park, advised by Prof. Jia-Bin Huang. My research focuses on embodied AI and robot learning. My goal is to build intelligent general-purpose robots that can assist humans in their daily tasks.

I am actively seeking internship opportunities for Summer 2026. Please reach out if you are interested in collaborating!
