I am currently a Ph.D student at Robotics, Embodied AI, Navigation in vivo Lab (REN Lab) of the Department of Electronic Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Hongliang Ren. Previously, I received my B.Eng. degree in 2021 in School of Information and Communication Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, advised by Prof. Zhizhong Fu. I also studied at Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in Imperial College London and received my M.Sc degree in 2022 advised by Dr. Javier Barria.

My research interests include artificial intelligent applications in medical image analysis, robotic perception and robotic navigation. I am recently working on 3D VLMs, Feed-forward Reconstruction and Surgical Assisted Algorithms.

I am always passionate about discussion or potential cooperation opportunities so feel free to contact me via email if have related inquiries! REN Lab is also open for research interns, don’t hesitate to contact me if you are interested. Specifically, Student helper programme are available for CUHK undergraduate & MSc students.
