I am a master student at ETH Zurich, working for a master's degree in Computational Science and Engineering in the Department of Mathematics. I have a deep love for animals, especially cats, with a particular fondness for golden British Shorthairs. I look forward to the day I achieve financial independence, perhaps during my PhD, when I can finally welcome a feline companion into my life.

Previously, I graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen with a bachelor's degree in Automation. Moreover, I spent a wonderful time working at AIRS in 2023. Besides, I am pleasure to be a remote intern at Baidu Inc. about deep learning for 3 years from 2020 to 2023.

I am looking for a PhD position in Robotics and Neurorehabilitation starting from 2026 fall.
