Biography

I am a Ph.D. Student majaring control and robotics at the Automatic Control Lab supervised by Professor James Lam and at the Biorobotic and Control Lab supervised by Professor Zheng Wang respectively. My research interests include soft robotics, applying control and optimization algorithms in robot, robotic system and kinematic and dynamic of robot.

I like playing basketball and football. Lebron James and Antoine Griezmann are my favorite basketball and football player, respectively. Besides, I am interested in fishing and grasp some skills in ice skating and skiing. If you have the same hobbies or interests in my research field, please do not hesitate to contact me.
