I am on the job market and looking for a faculty position starting from 2024 or later.

I am a postdoctoral researcher currently affiliated with the Advanced Robotics and Controls Lab at the University of California San Diego, under the mentorship of Prof. Michael Yip.

I’m currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Advanced Robotics and Controls Lab at the University of California San Diego, mentored by Prof. Michael Yip. Before this role, I conducted research at the Biorobotics Institute with Prof. Filippo Cavallo and at the Center for Bioinspired Soft Robotics at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), Italy. My Ph.D. was completed at INSA de Lyon, a top ranked French engineering university, under the guidance of Prof. Arnaud Lelevé. I also have experience as a senior control engineer and project manager at ROBO Medical Co., Ltd., a startup specializing in creating robots for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) surgery.

My current research focuses on the development of robotic autonomy for biomedical applications, encompass various domains including modeling, control, dynamics, planning, simulation, and optimization, as well as sensor perception, machine learning, and computer vision.
