I am a Research Assistant Professor in Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering (MAE) and CUHK T Stone Robotics Institute, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK).

Supported by the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship, I received my Ph.D. degree in the MAE department at CUHK, advised by Prof. Yun-hui Liu in July 2017, and then I served as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in the MAE department at CUHK for half a year. During the last two years of my Ph.D. study, I was working with Prof. Peter Kazanzides and Prof. Russell H. Taylor as a visiting student at Johns Hopkins University in the Laboratory for Computational Sensing + Robotics. Prior to my Ph.D. studies, I received B.E. degree at Beihang University, China.

My research interests are vision-based soft object manipulation, vision-based surgical tool tracking and control, and developments of robotic surgical components and systems, with emphasis on both scientific and engineering aspects.
