About

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at NYU AI4CE Lab, advised by Prof. Chen Feng. Before that, I obtained my B.Sc. in Mathematics from New York University and NYU Shanghai.

My research aims to build embodied AI systems with human-like spatial intelligence, enabling it to operate safely and effectively in complex, real-world environments. Key topics include: Dual-System architectures that unify fast reaction with deliberate planning, using MLLMs for Spatial Reasoning, and creating interactive Digital Twins for robust simulation and training.
