About Me

I am currently working as a Robotics Research Engineer at CowaRobot), based in Shanghai, China, where I focus on Reinforcement Learning for wheeled-legged robots, humanoids, robotic arm and quadrupeds. Additionally, I am actively involved in VLA and Reward Model to advance robotic manipulation.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Armored Vehicle Engineering from Beijing Institute of Technology in 2022, advised by Prof. Chaoyang Jiang, with a research focus on MPC-based trajectory tracking control for autonomous vehicles. I subsequently obtained my Master’s degree in Engineering from Beijing Institute of Technology in 2025, advised by Prof. Zeang Zhao, in collaboration with Direct Drive Tech, where I worked on RL-based locomotion policy for bipedal–wheeled robot named Diablo.

During my graduate studies, I completed an internship at JD.com, focusing on the development of a vision-based teleoperation framework for the RealMan robotic arm and LeapHand. Since August 2025, I have been working at CowaRobot), where I have successfully deployed RL policies on multiple self-research robotic platforms. My work also involves building teleoperation systems and VLA pilelines, covering data collection, algorithm development, and deployment.

Throughout my academic and industrial journey, I have developed strong sim2real expertise, with hands-on experience in end-to-end deployment of control and learning systems—from simulation and training to real-world execution—across diverse robotic platforms, including wheel-legged robots, humanoid robots, robotic arm, dexterous Hand, quadrupeds and autonomous vehicles.

Beyond academics and research... I am outgoing and curious, always eager to meet interesting people😊 and through them discover new perspectives on the world around me🌟. In my free time, I enjoy playing badminton 🏸, singing 🎶, photography 📷, and traveling ✈️.
