I am a Ph.D. Student at Robotics and Computer Vision Lab & Pengcheng Laboratory, advised by Prof. Hong ZHANG and Prof. Wenjun Xu. I previously graduated from WHU with a B.E. in Microeletronics and from SUSTech with a M.E. in EE. My research interests involve human-robot interaction, robot person-following and human perception from a robot’s view.
