About me

I am a graduate student in Control Science and Engineering at the School of Future Technology, Shanghai University. My supervisor is Professor Linqi Ye. In 2023, I completed my Bachelor's degree in Electronic and Information Engineering at the School of Communication and Information Engineering, Shanghai University.
I am a beginner in reinforcement learning for legged/humanoid robots.
