Postdoctoral Scholar, Electrical Engineering
Bio
I am a Post Doctoral researcher working with Prof. Shuran Song at Stanford Electric Engineering. Prior to joining Stanford, I spent three years as an Applied Scientist at Amazon Robotics working on the Stow project. I obtained my PhD and MS degrees from the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, obtained BoE from the department of Automation at Tsinghua University. I had also spent time interning at Toyota Research Institute and MIT.
I work on robotic manipulation. I am currently interested in the intersection of data-driven visual motor policies and model based compliance control.
