I am currently pursuing an MPhil at Sun Yat-sen University, supervised by Prof. Boyu Zhou and Prof. Juepeng Zheng. I received my B.Eng. from Xidian University in 2024.

Since January 2023, I have concurrently served as a visiting researcher at STAR Group supervised by Boyu Zhou. I am a research intern at IDEA Research since April 2025, mentored by Zhouchi Lin, focusing on UAV VLN. In my undergraduate study, I was the Algorithm Team Leader of IRobot, Xidian University Robomaster Team.

My research focuses on Generative Models for Robotics, VLN, and 3D Active Reconstruction.

I am actively seeking industrial internships and PhD opportunities.
