I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the IoT Thrust, Information Hub, and hold a joint appointment in the Thrust of Robotics and Autonomous Systems, System Hub, at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou). I am also a Cross-Campus Faculty Affiliate at HKUST (Clear Water Bay). I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of Toronto in 2025, under the supervision of Prof. Baochun Li, and my B.S. degree from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) in 2019. I have also worked as a research assistant at City University of Hong Kong and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, under the supervision of Prof. Cong Wang and Prof. Bo Li, respectively.

My research lies at the intersection of embodied AI and distributed systems, with an emphasis on robot manipulation and multi-arm collaboration. At HKUST(GZ), I lead NEBULIS Lab, where we study how embodied agents can act reliably and collaborate effectively in the physical world. This work builds on my Ph.D. research in distributed and federated learning, including large language model training in edge-computing and metaverse environments. I received the IEEE MetaCom Best Paper Award in 2023.
