About
I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University, working with Prof. Yunhao Liu.
My research connects embodied and embedded AI with bio-inspired sensing, focusing on event-based vision and multimodal perception for agile drones and resource-constrained robots.
Prior to this, I received my Ph.D. degree with honor in Computer Science and Engineering from Tsinghua University in 2026, advised by Prof. Xinlei Chen and Prof. Jingao Xu. I was also a jointly cultivated Ph.D. at UC Berkeley, advised by Prof. Liwei Lin. I received my B.Eng. degree with honor in Computer Science and Engineering from Central South University in 2022, advised by Prof. Ju Ren.
