Supervisor: Assistant Professor Ziwei Wang

I am currently a Ph.D. student in School of Automation at Central South University under the supervision of Prof. Weihua Gui and Prof. Keke Huang, and a visiting Ph.D. student in School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Nanyang Technological University. I received my B.Eng. degree in Automation from Central South University in 2022. Since January 2026, I have been a visiting Ph.D. student at Nanyang Technological University, where I conduct research in the PINE Lab under the supervision of Assistant Professor Ziwei Wang.

My current research focuses on Industrial Intelligence and Embodied AI.

🔥🔥 I am looking for collaborators interested in Embodied AI, particularly real-world RL. Feel free to contact me.
