About Me

Hey. Welcome. My Friend :-)

I am a Ph. D. candidate at the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering (MAE), the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), Hong Kong, China. In addition, I am a member in Zhang Research Lab (ZRL).

My research interests include continuum robots, magnetic materials and actuation, and learning-based control. I am currently mainly focusing on methodologies to design and control continuum robots composed of modular axially magnetized segments using learning based technologies.
