Hi, welcome to my page!
I’m a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in control and learning at the University of California, Berkeley. I work with Prof. Masayoshi Tomizuka in the Mechanical Systems Control (MSC) Laboratory.
My research interest lies in the interdisciplinary combination of robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and control theories, with a focus on the robotic dexterity research (grasping, manipulation, and assembly).
Here is my Curriculum Vitae.
