I'm currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Robotics, Perception & AI Lab in the Department of Electronic Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), Hong Kong SAR, China, supervised by Professor Max Q.-H. Meng. Before that, I received my B. Eng. degree in Communication Engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), Weihai, China, in 2019.
