About me

I am a Ph.D. student working on robotics and machine learning. My research interests include leveraging robot manipulation by reinforcement learning, and streamlining robotic systems to fulfill real-world applications. Currently, I am working on equivariant neural networks and model based reinforcement learning.

Education

• (2020-Present) Ph.D., Khoury College of Computer Sciences , Northeastern University. I am working in The Helping Hands Lab, advised by Professor Robert Platt.

• (2017-2020) M.S, Robotics, Northeastern University, Boston, MA, USA

• (2013-2017) B.S, Automation, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China
