About Me

I am a Ph.D. student at the School of Computing and Data Science, The University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Dong Xu and Prof. Peng Lu, working on robotics and mechanical engineering. My research focuses on robotic grasping and manipulation, including the development of adaptive grippers and the integration of computer vision and tactile sensing for intelligent object handling. During my undergraduate studies at Zhejiang University, I received guidance from Prof. Jian Chen and Prof. Weifei Hu.
