Biography

Hey. Welcome! My Friend :-)

At present, I am pursuing my Ph. D. in the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering (MAE), the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). Also, I am a member in Advanced Nanomaterials & Microrobotics Laboratory (ANML).

My research interests are in the field of Magnetic Robotics in medical applications, with particular emphasis on magnetic actuation, soft materials, and machine learning for continuum manipulators, like catheters or guidewires. Meanwhile, I serve as reviewers for several journals, such as IEEE Trans. Robot., Soft Robot., IEEE/ASME Trans. Mechatron., IEEE Robot. Autom. Lett., J. Intell. Robot. Syst., J. Intell. Mater. Syst. Struct., and Int. J. Med. Robot.
