I am a fifth-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, under the supervision of Prof. Weinan Zhang and Prof. Yong Yu. I completed my bachelor’s degree at Sichuan University in 2021. My research interests lie in imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and their applications in robotics.
