About

I am an M.S. student in Robotics at Georgia Tech. Before that, I completed a dual-degree program in 2026, earning a B.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a B.E. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Zhejiang University.

As an undergraduate I worked with Prof. Liangjing Yang, Prof. Katie Driggs-Campbell, and Prof. Gaoang Wang. My research focuses on robot learning, manipulation, and perception.

Currently

Working on dexterous hand manipulation and reinforcement learning at Georgia Tech. Actively looking for Summer 2027 research internships.

RecoverTwin: Train-Free Failure Recovery for Dual-Arm Manipulation

A recovery supervisor for frozen dual-arm policies that detects stalled grasps, then regrasps with Florence-2 localization, GraspNet proposals and IK before handing control back.
Raised randomized-scene success on RoboTwin 2.0 from 9% to 28% (bottle shaking, ACT) and from 17% to 30% (hammering, RDT-1B).

The dual-arm robot holding an unsolved Rubik's cube corner-down between its two white printed grippers

Project

Dual-Arm Robotic Rubik's Cube Solver

Senior design, team lead · Jan – May 2026. A MuJoCo cube model, Kociemba moves turned into clamp and layer-turn commands, and a serial bridge to Arduino motors. It completed a full solve on the physical prototype.
