I am currently at Current Robotics, where I work at the intersection of humanoid robotics and physical general intelligence. My goal is to build intelligent systems that can perceive, learn, reason, and act effectively in the physical world — robots that work alongside people and extend what humans can achieve.

My work and research interests include:

  • Ergonomic adaptation and system design for exoskeletons, encompassing both hardware and software development.
  • Building robot teleoperation systems for intuitive and effective human-robot interaction.
  • Investigating vision-language-action (VLA) imitation learning for humanoid robots.

I am deeply passionate about robotics and general artificial intelligence, especially the challenge of building complete systems from the ground up and endowing them with intelligent behavior. My ultimate aspiration is to become an all-around engineer — the kind who could rival Tony Stark!
