I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Aerial Robotics Group at HKUST, advised by Prof. Shaojie Shen. Before that, I received my Master’s degree from the IRMV Lab at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, supervised by Prof. Hesheng Wang.

My research interests lie in robotics and autonomous driving, with a focus on generative learning, robust estimation, global localization, and long-term mapping.
