I am a PhD candidate at the University of Glasgow, supervised by Dr. Jianglin Lan, and currently a visiting researcher at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, hosted by Prof. Changliu Liu. My research focuses on interactive embodied intelligence, including humanoid interaction, human motion generation, and interaction understanding, with broader interests in multi-agent interaction.
