I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Manchester, supervised by Dr. Zhenhong Li, Prof. Andrew Weightman, and Prof. Zhengtao Ding. Prior to beginning my Ph.D. journey in 2024, I accumulated several years of professional experience in autonomous mobile robots, with a particular focus on SLAM research, at LDROBOT and BAIDU Apollo in succession, from 2017. I received my B.Eng. in Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation and M.Eng. in Mechatronics Engineering in 2014 and 2017, respectively, both from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China.

My research interests include autonomous mobile robots and surgical robots, with a focus on sensor fusion, localisation and mapping, and state estimation in real-world environments. Recently, my work has centred on the perception and manipulation of deformable objects, addressing challenges in medical contexts.
