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. In my spare time, I also work on automatic robot design using optimization, machine learning, and object representations. I am currently looking for one PHD and one MS student to join my group in 2027 fall semester. If you are interested in joining my group, please feel free to contact me.
