I am a Ph.D. student (2022-) of Computer Science at The University of Hong Kong, fortunately advised by Prof. Ping Luo and Prof. Wenping Wang (IEEE Fellow). During my PhD, I collaborate closely with Yao Mu (now at Shanghai AI Lab) and Dr. Mingyu Ding (now Assistant Professor at UNC Chapel Hill).

During 2024-2025, I'm a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley MSC Lab, under the guidance of Prof. Masayoshi Tomizuka.

Prior to that, I obtained my bachelor's degree with first place in Automation from Zhejiang University in 2021 and received an honor degree from Chu Kochen Honors College. I was a member of ACEE. In 2020, I have been a research assistant at VIL of University of Washington, supervised by Yin Guo and Prof. Chun Yuan.
