I am a graduate student majoring in Systems Engineering in the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS) and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I am affiliated with the Zardini Lab, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Gioele Zardini. Before joining MIT, I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering in Robotics Engineering from the College of Engineering at Peking University. Last year, I worked as a visiting student in the Computational Robotics Group, advised by Prof. Heng Yang at School Of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), Harvard University.

My research interests mainly lie in robotics and encompass a range of topics, including autonomous robot system design, learning-based planning and control, multi-agent systems and game theory.
