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 robot embodiment design, exploring how a robot's morphology can sense and adapt based on task demands to enrich versatility, facilitate robot learning, and enhance task performance. I like to think outside the box and seek unconventional solutions with a full-stack mindset.
Outside research, I’m interested in design at the intersection of art, fashion, and robotics. If you’re interested in incorporating robots into product design, interactive art, or film, I’d be excited to contribute.
