I am an Assistant Professor at Duke University where I lead the General Robotics Lab. My research interests span across Robotics, Perception, Machine Learning, Human-AI Teaming, AI for Science, and Dynamical Systems.

My research advances embodied intelligence by understanding and designing intelligent systems that learn, act, reason, and adapt through perception and interaction.

Drawing inspiration from natural intelligence in humans and animals, my work identifies and develops the essential capabilities that machines need to become truly intelligent systems. Ultimately, I hope that machines can equip with high-level cognitive skills to assist people and unleash human creativity.
