I am a senior researcher at Tencent RoboticsX Lab (Agent Learning Center).

My current work focuses on motion control of the simulated character and dexterous manipulation with physics-based, data-driven, and learning-based techniques.

I received Ph.D from the University of Edinburgh in Computer Science in 2022, advised by Prof.Taku Komura.
