I am tenure-track assistant professor with the Department of Computer Science at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. From 2022-10 to 2024-04, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Electrical Engineering at Linköping University in Sweden, collaborating with Fredrik Gustafsson. Previously, I was a postdoc at the Institute for Anthropomatics and Robotics, Department of Informatics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, where I obtained my PhD degree in computer science with highest distinction in 2021 (Adviser: Uwe D. Hanebeck). I received my MSc degree in Automation Engineering in 2017 from RWTH Aachen University in Germany, including a master’s thesis completed at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, and my bachelor degrees in 2014 from Tsinghua University (Wikipedia) in China.

My research interests focus on enabling agile and trustworthy sensing, inference, learning and control towards full-stack autonomy of mobile robotic systems in the domain of embodied AI. Please refer to my group homepage for more details.
