I am a tenure-track associate professor at Robotics Institute, School of Mechanical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Before joining SJTU, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Autonomous Multi-Robots (AMR) Lab in Cognitive Robotics, Delft University of Technology. My research interests are in robot perception and spatial AI for mobile robots and multi-robot systems, with a focus on dynamic environments The long-term goal is to make robots operate in human environments safely and efficiently. I also work on automatic robot design using optimization and learning-based methods.
