I am a Ph.D. student at the Robotics Institute, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where I work on robotic manipulation and computer vision under the supervision of Prof. Qifeng Chen and Prof. Michael Yu Wang. Here is my CV.
My research lies in perception for grasping and manipulation, object extrinsic (pose) and intrinsic (physical property) parameter estimation, etc. I'm currently on job market. If you are interested to chat with me, feel free to drop me an email.
