Background
Associate Professor at National University of Defense Technology (NUDT), China
Serves as Associate Editor for IEEE T-RO, RA-L, ICRA, and IROS
Research focuses on robot learning, perception, and navigation, aiming to enable autonomous systems to understand and navigate complex environments
Particularly interested in self-learning frameworks that leverage spatial-temporal cues to build meaningful world representations and improve localization and navigation through continuous interaction with dynamic environments
Authored over 90 peer-reviewed papers in top robotics venues including TRO, RAL, RSS, ICRA, IROS, and CVPR
Recruiting master’s and Ph.D. students in robot perception and navigation since 2022
