About me

I'm a 5th-year Ph.D. candidate advised by Prof. Katherine Driggs-Campbell at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My research interest is in Human-Robot Interaction and Artificial Intelligence. I do research on Learning-based Path Planning, Intention Tracking, Trajectory Prediction, Large Language Model Driven Robotics, and Integration of Prediction and Planning. Applications of my research include Collaborative Manufacturing, Autonomous Driving, and Social Navigation.

I received the B.Eng. degree in Energy and Power Engineering from Xi'an Jiaotong University in 2017, and received the M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University in 2019.
