Previously, I was a master's student in the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab, where I worked with Prof. Jiajun Wu and Prof. Fei-Fei Li.
I earned dual B.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Purdue University, where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Karthik Ramani on human-computer interaction. (Fun fact: Prof. Ramani was also a Ph.D. student of Prof. Cutkosky!)
I support diversity, equity, and inclusion. Feel free to reach out to chat about research, career plans, or anything else! I'm happy to share my experience and support people from underrepresented groups in STEM.

I have been working on design, fabricate, and understand tactile sensors and the rich information brought by them.
I'm also broadly interested in AI and robotics, including but not limited to perception, planning, control, hardware design, and human-centered AI.
The goal of my research is to build agents that can achieve human-level of learning and adapt to novel and challenging scenarios by leveraging multisensory information including vision, audio, touch, etc.
We introduce UMI-Underwater, a system that combines autonomous self-supervised underwater data collection with zero-shot on-land-to-underwater transfer for robust grasping.
We present IMPASTO, a robotic oil-painting system that integrates learned pixel dynamics models with model-based planning for high-fidelity reproduction of oil paintings.
We introduce a
benchmark suite of 10 tasks for multisensory object-centric
learning, and a dataset, in-
cluding the multisensory measurements for 100 real-world
household objects.

We propose TypeTele, a type-guided dexterous teleoperation system, which enables dexterous hands to perform actions that are not constrained by human motion patterns by introducing dexterous manipulation types into the teleoperation system.
We introduce SLIM, a symmetric, low-inertia robotic manipulator with a bidirectional hand and integrated wrist designed for safe and effective operation in constrained, contact-rich environments.

We build a system that allows
users to select region(s) of interest (ROI) in scanned point cloud or
sketch in mid-air to enable interactive VR experience.
