My research interests are in robotics, machine learning and applied nonlinear control. They encompass robot learning and control, object grasping and manipulation, human-robot interaction, robotic hand and tactile sensing, and neuroscience. I am particularly interested in finding the deep connections between dynamics of intelligent systems and learning algorithms (learning from humans or from optimizations), which enables adaptive, efficient and robust control design for complex systems. The goal of my research is to enable robots to perform skills with the level of dexterity and flexibility that humans demonstrate in similar tasks. I am also particularlly interested in finding the novel application of robotic grasping and manipulation in the real world. Short Bio: Before joining Wuhan University as an associate professor, I was a PhD student at the Learning Algorithms and Systems Laboratory (LASA) at EPFL in Switzerland, with Professor Aude Billard, working on dynamic grasp adaptation- from humans to robots. Before that, I spent several years of my undergraduate and graduate studies at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China.
