My interests lie in bio-inspired robots and unsteady fluid dynamics, building flapping-wing vehicles to understand how animals harness surrounding flows, and translating those principles into agile micro-aerial-vehicles (MAVs).
V I S I O N
Going forward, empowered by learning-based control (RL) and microsystems, I aim to achieve autonomous flight of bio-inspired robots, leveraging them as non-intrusive instruments for ecological studies, embodied navigation tool indoors, and explore a new paradigm of human-drone interaction.

Personal
Outside the lab, I enjoy woodcrafts, fossil hunting , and collecting exquisite designs and handicrafts . I also play percussion and served as a percussionist and timpanist in Cornell Wind Symphony and Tsinghua University Symphonic Band. Discover our performance recordings in the music tab!
I also have a cat who shows higher research potential than me: she loves dissecting toys and investigating the tea kettle. Some funny expressions:
