I am an M.S. student in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University, where I am a graduate research assistant in the Biomimetics & Dexterous Manipulation Lab advised by Mark Cutkosky, and work with C. Karen Liu on humanoid control.
I received dual bachelor's degrees in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Arizona and Hebei University of Technology.
My interests are in robot learning for contact-rich tasks in extreme or hazardous settings. I enjoy full-stack robotics, from hardware design to control and learning on real robots.
Projects I have contributed to. Highlighted is my main ongoing work.
In preparation
Teaching a humanoid to climb vertical walls on micro-spine palms. Its whole-body motions are generated with a probabilistic model of spine contact rather than taken from human demonstrations.

Stacking a few planar compliant modules gives a robot wrist the stiffness a task needs. I implemented the robot control for the contact and high-speed interaction experiments.

Five glowing whiskers and a single camera locate an underwater flow source in the dark. I built the lightweight CNN that decodes whisker deformation into source position.

A compact 2-DoF add-on wrist reorients an ultrasound probe right at the tool, so the 7-DoF arm holding it sweeps much less space and carries less joint load. I built the controller pipeline that integrates wrist and arm control into reusable, robust primitives within a manager-based architecture.
