I am a second-year M.S. (research-oriented) student in Computer Science at UIUC, advised by Prof. Kris Hauser and Prof. Yunzhu Li. Prior to this, I obtained my bachelor's degrees in Mathematics and Statistics with Highest Distinction from UIUC, fortunately working with Prof. Tarek Abdelzaher. I am looking for a Ph.D. position in Robot Learning starting from Fall 2025! 🤖🎓 Research | News | Publications | Honors | Teaching |

Research
My research interests mainly lie on Robot Learning and Open-World Robotics.
Specifically, I aim to develop a useful, robust, and life-long robotic system that is (1) generalizable across diverse scenarios (e.g. instances, envionrments, embodiments, and tasks); (2) adaptable to unseen domains efficiently through and for physical interactions; and (3) deployable in the REAL 3D unstructured world safely.
To this end, I am currently working on:
- Learning structured world models with spatial and temporal abstractions.
- Heterogeneous deformabele object manipulation.
- Learning from human demonstration videos.
