I am a PhD student with major interests in Perception for Autonomous Systems at Zhejiang University, School of Electrical Engineering, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. Currently, I am looking into developing environment understanding solutions for robots particularly in dynamic environments leveraging Computer Vision design paradigms such as SLAM & 3DGS.
Before coming to ZJU, I earned a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering at Shenyang University of Technology, where I worked on applying perceptual deep learning models to Visual-SLAM frameworks. My Bachelor's degree was in Electronic Information Engineering from Xiangtan University. I mostly built automated systems using C and embedded systems STM32s and 51s.
Beyond work, I enjoy having conversations with interesting people, taking long walks and reading. Also, I speak fluent Mandarin.
