😎 Brief Bio
I am a PhD student in the Smart Robotics Lab of Technical University of Munich with Prof. Stefan Leutenegger. Previously, I received my M.Sc. degree in Robotics, Cognition, Intelligence with high distinction from Technical University of Munich.
🤖 Research Interest
- Always-on Robot Learning (to connect skill learning from different embodiments)
- Object-Centric Perception (to understand objects' geometry, concepts, affordance, and more)
- Neural Scene Representations (to facilitate object-centric perception)
🤓 Student Projects
I will not be the main supervisor for any student projects in 2026!
If you still want to work with us on robot learning, check out our project page at ETH. Students with a strong hardware background (e.g., getting this lerobot stack running) are highly preferred!
