Hello, I'm

PhD student at Duke University

I'm fortunate to be advised by Professor Boyuan Chen at the General Robotics Lab

I'm interested in autonomous robot design: How can robots autonomously learn and harness the laws of physics to design, build, and iteratively improve themselves, co-evolving their morphology and control policies as biological organisms do? What can this process reveal about biological intelligence, and how might intelligence emerge differently in robots? I like to think outside the box and seek unconventional solutions with a full-stack mindset.

Imagine if AI and robots take over our labor, what will we do? We enjoy the arts and investigate deeper questions! Outside research, I’m drawn to design at the intersection of art, fashion, and robotics. If you’re interested in bringing robots into product design, interactive art, or film, I’d love to collaborate.
