About Me drawing

I’m a robotics software engineer at DiDi Research America, shaping the future of L4 self-driving cars by building their path-planning and decision-making systems.

Previously, I was a research assistant in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Virginia. I worked in the Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) Lab and the Link Lab under the supervision of Prof. Nicola Bezzo. Before coming to UVA, I was an exchange student for my senior year of undergraduate at UC Berkeley EECS. I received my B.S. degree in Automation at the Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing, China.

My research focuses on adaptive motion and path planning for unmanned ground/aerial vehicles, transfer learning, and robotics system failure detection and recovery. My collaboration works extend into the areas of autonomous inspection, robotic swarms, cyber-physical systems (CPS) security, and Human-robot interaction (HRI). The robots listed here are some of the robots I worked with on a daily basis. Feel free to send me an email if you are interested in my work or have any questions for me.

Outside of academic pursuits, I’m an avid outdoor enthusiast, enjoying a wide variety of sports.
