I earned my Ph.D. from Morphing Matter Lab at Carnegie Mellon University, School of Computer Science, advised by Prof. Lining Yao (HCI Institute), co-adviced by Prof. Ding Zhao (Robotics Institute). Prior to joining CMU, I received my bachelor’s degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China.

My research explores the intersection of computational design, robotics, and materials science for creating shape-morphing systems. I discover novel mechanical and material mechanisms that enable precise volumetric transformations while minimizing complexity, with emphasis on truss-based robotic structures and self-developing responsive materials . I am passionate about developing computational tools and specialized algorithms to design and control these morphing systems.
