Bio summary
I obtained my BEng degree in Mechanical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Bristol in 2016. I completed my MSc degree in Robotics at University of Bristol, University of West England and Bristol Robotics Laboratory in 2017. My integrated master project 'Connected and Collaborative Assistive Robots' won 1st place at the ICSR2017 in Japan Best Robot Design Competition. I achieved my PhD degree at the REDS Lab, Dyson School of Design Engineering, Imperial College London in 2021. My PhD thesis title is "Innovative robot hand designs of reduced complexity for dexterous manipulation".
​
I am now a PostDoc at Fudan University and a visiting Research Associate at Imperial College London working on soft robot hand designs for grasping and manipulation.
​
My research interests lie with Robots design, more specifically robot hand designs for dexterous in-hand manipulation via mechanical intelligence principles without increasing the control complexity.
