About Me

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Shenzhen Campus of Sun Yat-sen University. My research focuses on exploiting the mechanical intelligence of rigid-flexible robots using advanced computational methods and machine learning tools.

My doctoral study, being advised by Prof. WU Zhigang, was on advancing the field of tensegrity robots through innovative mechanical modeling and computer methods. Before that, I worked on parallel computing and statistical analysis of turbulent flow, under the mentorship of Prof. BAO Yun.

I am the creator of Rible.jl (逸步), an open-source Julia package devoted to the computational design of rigid-flexible robots.

When my research gets stuck, I enjoy (not in the psychoanalytic sense) swimming, readings, and movies.
