I am a PhD student at Autonomous & Intelligent Robotics Lab (AIRO) in the Department of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, supervised by Prof. Chih-yung Wen (ASME Fellow). I received my M.Eng degree in Control Engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen, supervised by Prof. Max Q.-H. Meng (IEEE Fellow). Before that, I received my B.Eng. degree in Measurement and Control Technology and Instrument from Nanjing Tech University, supervised by Prof. Lihang Feng (IEEE Senior Member). I also work closely with Prof. Zhe Min at Shandong University, Prof. Jiaole Wang and Prof. Shuang Song at Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen.

My research mainly concentrates on 3D vision and robot navigation (e.g., surgical and underwater scenarios). I solve problems by integrating optimization algorithms with deep learning. I currently work on topics about 3D generative models and point cloud registration.
