Academic Achievements
- Awarded Dean’s Graduate Research Excellence Award by NUS School of Computing in August 2024; latest work on grasp synthesis accepted to R:SS 2024 (29% acceptance rate), proposing GRaCE method to optimize grasps using multiple classifiers; thesis selected as a winner of SoC CS Thesis Award 2025 in June 2025.
Research Experience
- Currently a Member of the Technical Team at Light Robotics, working on a variety of projects, with a particular focus on Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models for robotic manipulation.
Education
- Received B.S. in Robotics from Nazarbayev University in 2015; M.S. in Robotics from Nazarbayev University in 2017, where he worked as a research assistant at the ALARIS Lab, focusing on control challenges in both closed- and open-chain robotic systems; recently completed Ph.D. at the School of Computing, National University of Singapore (NUS), advised by Dr. Yan Wu and Dr. Harold Soh, supported by the SINGA scholarship, and conducted in collaboration with Dexbot, A*STAR, and CLeAR, NUS.
Background
- Research interests include robot manipulation, tactile perception, and multimodal fusion. Particularly interested in developing intelligent robotic systems that combine tactile sensing and vision to better understand and interact with their environments, enabling tasks like object grasping and manipulation.
