Love robots. Want to teach them to love people back.


I am broadly interested in robotics and reinforcement learning with continuous space tasks.

I am a second-year master's student in Computing Science at the University of Alberta, Canada. I am very fortunate to be supervised by Randy Goebel and Hengshuai Yao. Prior to that, I received my bachelor's degree from Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, Canada. I was advised by David Wang on machine automation at UWaterloo.

Previously research engineer (mentors: Ding Quan and Hengshuai Yao) at Viwistar Robotics;
Extreme Blue tech intern at IBM;
embedded vision and DL intern (mentors: Brady Laska and Dong Zheng) at NXP Semiconductors;
autonomous driving simulation intern (mentors: Peyman Yadmellat and Masoud Nosrati) at Huawei Noah's Ark Lab;
undergraduate researcher (advisor: Arash Arami) at the Neuromechanics and Assistive Robotics Lab, University of Waterloo;
2019-2020 Exchange at the TU Delft, Netherlands.
