About Me

I am currently a senior undergraduate at Tsinghua University, pursuing a degree in Information and Computing Science.

In terms of academic performance, I have maintained an average GPA of 3.95, ranking first in my major. I began my research under the supervision of Prof. Prof. Mingsheng Long, focusing on world modeling. In the summer of 2024, I interned at Lecar Lab at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof. Guanya Shi, where I worked on model-based reinforcement learning and planning algorithm. I am currently visiting the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab, adviced by Prof. Jiajun Wu and Prof. C. Karen Liu, working on humanoid control.

My current research interests lie in humanoid control, generalizable world modeling, and robotic manipulation. I aim to build robust primitive skills for humanoids through sim-to-real reinforcement learning or by leveraging human data, and then integrate these skills with planning to accomplish complex tasks.

I am applying for a PhD position in 2026 Fall. Please drop me an email if you are interested in my research or just want to chat!
