About Me
I am currently a senior in Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences (IIIS, Yao Class) at Tsinghua University, majoring in Artificial Intelligence. Prior to this, I was a member of the Chinese national team for the Asian Physics Olympiad.
In terms of academic performance, my average GPA is 3.98, ranking first in my class(1/94). I began my research under the supervision of Prof. Li Yi , focusing on character animation. During the Spring and Summer of 2025, I was a student intern at LeCAR Lab at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof. Guanya Shi, where I worked on humanoid robot research. I also had the pleasure of collaborating with Zhengyi(Zen) Luo and the Meta Motivo team.
My primary research goal is to leverage large-scale human data to build generalizable robots capable of performing the full spectrum of human skills. I am currently seeking a PhD position for Fall 2026 and would love the opportunity to connect and exchange ideas with researchers and peers.
Beyond academics and research...
I am outgoing and curious, always eager to meet interesting people😊 and through them discover new perspectives on the world around me🌟. I have often taken the stage as a host, performer, and student representative speaker 🎤🎭 at major university events, and have served as class monitor and seminar organizer, supporting and connecting with my peers 🙋♀️. In my free time, I love writing (mostly essays✍️), singing 🎶, dancing 💃, keeping fit 🏋️, and traveling ✈️.
