My passion lies in robotics, and I am dedicated to exploring and researching new technologies in this field.

I am an incoming PhD student in Spring 2026 at Arizona State University, supervised by Dr Shan LIN in Medical Automation, Robotics & General Intelligence Lab (MARGIN Lab).

Currently, I am focusing on medical mechatronics and soft robotics at Laboratory of Medical Mechatronics, CUHK as a junior research assistant. I was affiliated with the High-speed Thermo-fluid and MAV/UAV Laboratory (AIRo Lab, HKPolyU) at the Research Centre for Unmanned Autonomous Systems (RCUAS), led by Prof. Chih‐yung WEN and Dr. Li‐ta HSU. Additionally, I was under co‐supervision by Dr Henry K. CHU, focusing on the field of soft robotics.
