I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Technology at Shenzhen University. My core interests are Artificial Intelligence, Deep Reinforcement Learning and Simulation-to-Reality policy transfer for safety-critical embodied autonomy.

My work spans UAV autonomy, end-to-end autonomous driving, robotic manipulation and humanoid robotics, with emphasis on robust policy learning, uncertainty and risk, closed-loop evaluation, runtime verification and deployment-aware system design.

Alongside research, I have extensive experience in teaching, technical training, curriculum development, mentoring and coordination, including professional instruction across hundreds of training batches.

Research themes

Reliable autonomy across domains and embodiments.

A research portfolio centered on learning, transfer and assurance for autonomous systems that must operate under domain shift and safety constraints.

01

Deep Reinforcement Learning

Policy optimization, reward design, uncertainty-aware exploration and reliable closed-loop decision making.

02

Sim2Real & Sim2Sim Transfer

Transfer interfaces and adaptation strategies that diagnose, reduce and control the gap between source and target domains.

03

Safety-Critical Embodied AI

Architectures that separate learned proposals from execution authority through risk-aware verification and control safeguards.

04

UAV Autonomy

GPS-denied inspection, robust speed control, visual localization degradation and emergency landing for autonomous aerial systems.

05

Autonomous Driving

Ego-relational representations, uncertainty-informed control, safety-aware transfer and end-to-end driving under distribution shift.

06

Humanoid & Robotic Manipulation

Object-centric policy transfer, action realization, deployment interfaces and cross-embodiment evaluation for physical robotic systems.
