About Me

*NEW* I am a first-year Master's in Robotics (MSR) student at Carnegie Mellon University, Robotics Institute, and I am currently seeking a research position. If you are interested in my work or have opportunities for collaboration, please feel free to contact me via email.
I obtained my bachelor's degree in Artificial Intelligence from Nanjing University. During my undergraduate studies, I had the privilege of working with Prof. Xiangyu Yue at MMLab@The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Prof. Yu-Feng Li at LAMDA Group@Nanjing University.

Research Interest

My research interests mainly include Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. Specifically, I am interested in Multimodal Learning, Multimodal Perception and Embodied AI. I am passionate about developing intelligent systems with capabilities across multiple dimensions.

  • Multimodal Learning: Bridging the gap between different modalities, such as vision, language, audio.
  • Multimodal Perception: Enabling robots to perceive and understand environments through multi-source information.
  • Embodied AI: Developing an intelligent system with perception, reasoning, and action capabilities to solve real-world tasks.
