About Me
I am an first-year Ph.D. student in Robotics at the University of Michigan advised by Prof. Yanran Ding (ARCaD Lab). Prior to that, I earned Master’s degree in Robotics from Johns Hopkins University, and my Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Zhejiang University.
Research Interests
My research interests are in legged robot, dynamics, estimation, optimization- and learning-based control. I am particularly interested in using tools such as convexification and learning to reason about their physics and generate robust behavior.
