I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Northwestern University, fortunately advised by Prof. Manling Li. I collaborate closely with the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab (SVL), working with Prof. Li Fei-Fei and Prof. Jiajun Wu on spatial intelligence and embodied agents. Before Northwestern, I received my bachelor's degree from Zhejiang University.
Research vision: I study how foundation models develop spatial understanding and decision-making skills, so that embodied agents can act over long horizons and across diverse embodied experiences in complex environments.
