I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science and Technology at the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT). Currently, I am a research assistantship at the Peking University - Psibot Joint Lab, working under the supervision of Prof. Yaodong Yang and Prof. Yuanpei Chen. My research focuses on Embodied AI and Robotics, encompassing systemic studies from high-level behavior planning (e.g., Task and Motion Planning (TAMP), behavior tree planning and generation) to low-level motion control (e.g., Vision-Language-Action Models (VLA) and real-world reinforcement learning).
