About Me

I am an incoming PhD student at the Department of Computer Science at the University of British Columbia, where I will be working under the guidance of Prof. Peter Yichen Chen and Prof. Chao Liu. Prior to joining UBC, I was a research assistant at the University of Hong Kong. I earned both my Bachelor's degree and Master's degree from Southeast University, where I was supervised by Prof. Lifeng Zhu.

My research focuses on Physics Simulation, Graphics, and Robotics, blending theory with practical innovation. My work targets:

  • Merging Physics and Data-Driven Methods: I combine rigorous physics simulations with data-driven techniques to optimize their strengths for efficient, accurate solutions in graphics and robotics.

  • Boosting Robot Decision-Making: I use physics simulation to enhance how robots interact with their environment, enhancing their ability to interpret physical cues, adapt to real-time changes, and make precise decisions.
