About Me
I build robotics perception systems that move from research prototypes into products people can actually use.
A research foundation shaped by perception, systems thinking, and real-world engineering.
My training spans pattern recognition, intelligent systems, and computer science, giving me a way of working that moves comfortably between theory, implementation, and deployment constraints. That foundation still shapes how I approach robotics perception today: rigorous in method, clear in system design, and practical in execution.
I work at the intersection of robotics perception, computer vision, and applied machine learning, with a focus on systems that can move from research prototypes into deployable products. I received an M.Res. with Distinction in Pattern Recognition and Intelligent Systems from the University of Liverpool, supported by the Huzhou Institute of Zhejiang University, and a B.Eng. in Computer Science and Technology from Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech).
My experience spans academic labs, startup engineering, and industry-facing technical development. Over several years of research and product work, I have built algorithms, prototype systems, and collaboration habits that translate well across research, engineering, and commercialization contexts. A later period exploring frontier-technology investing broadened how I think about technical ambition, product timing, and the path from idea to market.
Research Interests
My core interests are machine learning, pattern recognition, robotics perception, and computer vision. Outside work, I spend time on photography, hiking, football, and visual storytelling. You can find some of my photos and illustrations here.
If you are building something ambitious in robotics or perception, I would be glad to connect.
