I am a Master student in Artificial intelligence at Tsinghua University, advised by Houde Liu and Linqi Ye. Moreover, I also started a startup ZERITH which focused on how to extract usable data from human videos.

My research area include humanoid/legged Robot. I care about and continue to think about robots and embodied intelligence in real application scenarios to achieve commercial closed loop.

In my spare time, I like riding 🚴 and guitar 🎸. Contact me if you are interested in my work!
