About

I am currently an Assistant Professor at Harbin University of Science and Technology. I earned my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Harbin Engineering University in 2020, under the supervision of Prof. Lixun Zhang, with co-guidance from Prof. James Sulzer (formerly at UT-Austin, now at Case Western Reserve University). Following my Ph.D., I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Prof. Hongliang Ren's Lab at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), where I focused on developing robotic technologies for rehabilitation, assistance, and medical applications. My research has been driven by a passion for advancing robotics to address critical challenges in healthcare and human assistance.

Research

My research interests include:

  • Robotic Technology in Rehabilitation
  • Human-machine System Modeling
  • Medical Robotics
  • Mechanism Design and Optimization
