CV & Google Scholar & GitHub & Twitter
I am a Ph.D. Candidate at UC Berkeley advised by Prof. Yi Ma and Prof. Jitendra Malik, and a visiting researcher at Meta FAIR. My research lies at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, tactile sensing, and machine learning.
I received my Bachelor's degree from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), where I was advised by Prof. Chi-Keung Tang. I also spent two years at Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA), working on computer vision with Dr. Jifeng Dai and Dr. Yichen Wei.
