I am a 2nd-year PhD student at EPFL and also working as a research assistant in the Robot Learning & Interaction group at Idiap, supervised by Dr. Sylvain Calinon and Prof. Colin Jones.

I am targeting on building intelligent robot assistants living together with humans at home. I am currently working on integrating task and motion planning with robot learning for long-horizon manipulation tasks. My research interest includes robot learning, task and motion planning, and graph theory. My previous research experiences cover imitation learning, deep reinforcement learning, sim2real transfer, variable impedacne control, robot manipulators and legged robots. See Projects for more details.

Occasionally, I will share some master thesis project proposals for master students at EPFL or anyone interested in them. Please refer to Teaching for more information.

I am also glad to discuss with anyone for any potential collaboration. Feel free to contact me!
