I’m a first-year CS PhD student at Cornell University. I obtained my bachelor degree from Turing class at the School of EECS, Peking University. I’m interested in leveraging 3D information to help robot manipulation.

Previously, I am a research intern at CCVL, supervised by Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Alan Yuille. Before that, I was a research intern at Hyperplane Lab, Center on Frontiers of Computing Studies, advised by Prof. Hao Dong. I have also collaborated with Dr. Kaichun Mo (NVIDIA) on object manipulation.
