About Me

I’m a second-year Ph.D. candidate in Pattern Recognition and Intelligent Systems at Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SIA) & University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) under the supervision of Prof. Zhi Han. Before UCAS, I received my banchelor’s degree in Jun. 2022 at North University of China. I am a selected participant in the China Association for Science and Technology Young Scientific and Technological Talents Nurturing Program (Specialized Doctoral). My research focuses on Robotic Learning, Embodied AI, and Computer Vision. I also serve as CAA, AAAI Member and the reviewer for several conferences and journals such as ICLR, ICML, NeurIPS, CVPR, ICCV, ACM MM, AAAI, ICME and IEEE TCYB, TIP, TNNLS, TII, RAL.
