About Me

I’m a PhD student at the GWU, my current research directions include artificial intelligence, robotics and AR/VR technology.

I’m an interdisciplinary researcher with expertise in electrical, mechanical, and software engineering. My past works span mathematical modeling and simulation, hardware (circuits, chips), embedded/controls software, and mechanical design and prototyping.

Looking ahead, I am interested in building AI models that give robots the ability to perceive, reason, and act in complex physical environments. I’m also exploring how AR/VR (XR) can augment perception, control, and human–robot collaboration to deliver truly embodied intelligence. I believe these techniques have the power to transform lives in profound ways.
