Peking University · Incoming PhD student · Starting 2027

I am an incoming PhD student at the Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies, Peking University, starting in 2027 under the supervision of Prof. Yadong Mu. I am currently completing my undergraduate studies in Intelligent Science and Technology at PKU EECS.

I previously collaborated with Prof. Lin Shao at NUS, and I continue to work closely with Wenxuan Song. My research focuses on developing new model architectures for robotic manipulation. I aim to build robots that can learn transferable skills and generalize across tasks, environments, and embodiments.
