Working Experience and Education: Now I study at the School of Data Science, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-SZ) , as a computer science Ph.D. student under the supervision of Prof Guiliang Liu. I have received my Bachelor’s degree from the School of Computer Science and Technology, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT).

Research Interests: Reinforcement Learning and the related topics, including:
● Real-World Reinforcement Learning
● Vision-Language-Action model in robotic manipulation
● Human-to-Humanoid Loco-Manipulation
● AI Scientist System

My work has been published in top-tier international AI conferences such as ICLR, ECCV, ICRA, and NeurIPS. Please feel free to communicate and cooperate via email or WeChat.
