About Me

I am currently a first-year PhD student at UMass Amherst, supervised by Prof. Chuang Gan and Prof. Evangelos Kalogerakis. Previously, I earned my Master's Degree from SJTU, under the guidance of Prof. Chao Ma, and my Bachelor's Degree from SCUT, advised by Prof. Mingkui Tan.

My research aims to develop intelligent machine systems capable of comprehending, reasoning, and acting in the real world, much like humans do. Recently, I have focused more on AI systems' interaction with the physical world.
