Highlights
About
My research focuses on developing robot learning systems that adapt to new tasks and improve through interaction with the physical world. I am interested in how learning from diverse experience and predicting action outcomes can support long-horizon decision-making and policy improvement.

Selected Projects
Development of an Ankle Manipulator for Human Assistance
UC Berkeley · 2023
Details
Developed a wearable ankle-assistance prototype aimed at providing on-demand balance support. Integrated IMU and plantar-pressure sensing with motor control, redesigned the wearable enclosure, and improved neural gait-phase prediction using recent pressure measurements.
Magnetically Actuated Kresling Origami Millirobot
XJTU · 2025 · Outstanding Undergraduate Thesis (Top 1%)
Details
Developed a magneto-mechanical model linking external magnetic fields to the deformation of a Kresling-origami robot. Validated the magnetic and structural models through MATLAB/COMSOL analysis and compression experiments, and built a miniature camera-focusing prototype.
