About Me

I am a junior majoring in Electrical Engineering at Zhejiang University’s ZJU-UIUC Institute. Currently, I am a Research Intern at RobbyAnt, mentored by Prof. Yinghao Xu. Previously, I worked as a research assistant at the CVNext Lab in the ZJU-UIUC Institute under the supervision of Prof. Gaoang Wang.

My research aims to let machines perceive the physical world and act within it: building vision foundation models that perceive and understand the 3D world, and robot foundation models that translate this understanding into action.
