About

I'm an incoming second-year student at the University of Hong Kong, under the Faculty of Engineering Elite Programme, majoring in Electronic Engineering with a minor in Computer Science. Prior to university, I studied at Beijing 101 High School.

I currently work on autonomous robotics. My broader interests span hardware-software co-design, edge deployment of intelligent systems, and the system-level questions that arise when autonomous systems leave controlled environments and meet the real world. I am drawn to research at the intersection of perception, planning, and the hardware constraints that make both hard.

莫聽穿林打葉聲,何妨吟嘯且徐行。竹杖芒鞋輕勝馬,誰怕?一蓑煙雨任平生。

Experience & Works

01
2025.12 – Present · Research Assistant

HKU Innovation Wing Research Assistant

  • MTR Station Inspection Robot (2026.6 – Present) GitHub: Developing the object grounding module of a full autonomous inspection system built on the CMU exploration planner stack with FAST-LIO state estimation. Implemented LiDAR-camera fusion via frustum projection, mapping open-vocabulary 2D detections onto 3D point clouds with per-track accumulation and outlier-rejection/clustering for robust 3D object localization.
  • Tour Guide Robot (2025.12 – 2026.5): Built the full autonomy stack for a museum guide robot. Resolved severe odometry drift caused by the corridor effect in featureless hallways and dynamic crowd occlusion by integrating FAST-LIO (LiDAR-inertial odometry); deployed localization via ICP and navigation via Nav2.

2025.12 – 2026.5 · Research Assistant

HKU JC STEM Lab of Intelligent Cybersecurity Research Assistant

  • Co-developed RE-Agent GitHub: an automated reverse-engineering pipeline built on Ghidra and DeepSeek that mimics the cognitive strategies of human reverse engineers for vulnerability analysis of stripped binaries. Replaced naive LLM prompting with progressive context enrichment using BFS exploration of caller/callee graphs and iterative hypothesis testing, achieving a 9 increase in semantic function name-recovery accuracy compared to naive prompting on raw Ghidra decompiler output.
  • Co-authored INFRASCOPE (arXiv:2605.20051, preprint under review): a reference-driven multi-agent framework for detecting vulnerability variants across AI infrastructure repositories; contributed to experiments and validation testing.
