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 4.0, ranking first in my major. I began my research under the supervision of Prof. Prof. Mingsheng Long, focusing on world modeling. I am currently visiting the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab, adviced by Prof. Jiajun Wu and Prof. C. Karen Liu, working on humanoid control. I have also had the pleasure of collaborating with Yanjie Ze and Jialong Wu.
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!
