I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the South China University of Technology in 2020. Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Computer Science at the same university. I am now serving as an Associate Researcher at the Institute of Super Robotics in Huangpu.
My research interests lie at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, image processing, and sparse coding. I am particularly interested in exploring how these fields can be integrated to develop advanced robotic systems capable of intelligent perception and interaction with their environment.
