Short biography:
I completed my studies in Electrical Engineering and Automation at Xi’an Jiaotong University, China, in 2017. I then pursued a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), where I specialized in robotics and intelligent systems. I completed my master’s thesis, “Optimal Order Pick-and-Place of Objects in Cluttered Scene by a Mobile Manipulator,” in 2021.
Since September 2022, I have been a doctoral candidate at the Institute for Cognitive Systems at TUM under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Gordon Cheng. My research centers on embodied intelligence and neuromorphic robotics, integrating bio-inspired computation with advanced multimodal sensors to develop artificial perception systems for intelligent robotic manipulation and perception.
I have also conducted a research stay at the Johns Hopkins University, collaborating on neuromorphic sensing and neuroengineering approaches for multimodal perception. My work lies at the intersection of neuromorphic engineering, thermotactile sensing, and embodied perception–action systems, aiming to enable robots to interact with complex environments in a biologically grounded and adaptive manner.
