I am a Master's student in the Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). I conduct my research in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, advised by Dr. Katherine Driggs-Campbell. I work closely with PhD students Kaiwen Hong and Shaoting Peng.

Research: Vision-Language-Action models for robot manipulation: adaptive dual-system architectures, preference-aligned policy transfer, and real-world imitation learning infrastructure.
