Hi there! I am a tenure-track assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). I was a postdoc at BAIR@UC Berkeley and was a visiting PhD at CSAIL@MIT. I received my doctorate from the University of Hong Kong and finished my undergraduate degrees at Renmin University of China.
I’m leading the Intelligent Dexterous Embodied AI Lab at UNC (IDEAL@UNC). My research interests lie at the intersection of robotics, embodied AI, and computer vision. I am actively seeking self-motivated students for PhD and intern positions. If you’re interested, please fill out this form and email me with your CV, thanks! Meanwhile, we highly recommend you to submit your applications through the UNC Graduate Admissions portal by December 15 and list me as faculty interest.
My long-term research goal is to build intelligent robots capable of interacting with the physical world as naturally and dexterously as humans.
