Research Assistant Professor, THU

About

    I am a Research Assistant Professor at Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, Tsinghua University. I received my Ph.D. degree from Tsinghua University in 2020, advised by Prof. Jing Xu, and my B.E. degree from Tsinghua University in 2014. During 2018-2019, I was a visiting student at the Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering, University of California, San Diego, advised by Prof. Hao Su.
    ​I aim to empower robots to better perceive, understand and interact with the world.  My current research includes 3D computer vision, tactile sensing, and robot learning. Currently, I'm working closely with SU Lab on ManiSkill and SAPIEN.
    ​I am actively looking for motivated PostDoc/PhD/MS/BS students. Please feel free to email me with your resume if you are interested.
