I’m a computer engineering undergraduate at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), with a minor in Robotics and an extended major in AI. I enjoy turning algorithms into working systems: developing autonomous robot control and deploying AI models on embedded hardware. My research interests include aerial robots reinforcement learning.

I will be exchanged to Dept. of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering of ETH Zurich in 2027 Spring and i'm looking for research opportunities during exchange. If you are interested in collaboration, please feel free to contact me.

Projects & Experience

2026 – Present

Software Developer, Terralix Smart Ski Goggles

Bringing AI to the slopes through on-device computing and terrain perception. Deployed models on the RK3588 board for edge AI computing. Exploring LiDAR-based algorithms for snow terrain recognition.

2025 – Present

Embedded Developer, HKUST RoboMaster Team ENTERPRIZE

Developing the embedded control system for an autonomous Sentry robot. Led embedded development for the Sentry robot, creating core control logic for autonomous decision-making and developing algorithms for navigation and target tracking. Improved IMU fusion and AHRS algorithms, reducing response latency by 60% and increasing control precision by 30%. Collaborated with mechanical and hardware teams to integrate sensors and motors.

2024 – 2025

Full-Stack Developer, USTLeaf

A community platform for discovering and documenting plant species on the HKUST campus. Built and deployed ustleaf.cloud with peers, cataloging campus plant species with photographs and detailed information. Added community features for photo uploads, comments, and likes. Visit USTLeaf
