I'm a Ph.D. student at the University of Southern California, conducting research within the Robot Locomotion and Navigation Dynamics Lab (RoboLAND) under the guidance of Professor Feifei Qian. My academic interests revolve around the realms of robotics and machine learning, with a specific focus on enhancing robotic locomotion and navigation across challenging terrains, as well as optimizing the way intelligent robots interact with their surroundings. My recent research collaboration with Professor Daniel Seita is dedicated to the exploration of how robots can harness physical interactions with their environment to uncover novel locomotion strategies, ultimately empowering them to efficiently accomplish their locomotion objectives.
