Education

• University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI — B.S.E. in Computer Science, GPA 3.94/4.00 (2024–Present)
• Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai — B.E. in Mechanical Engineering, GPA 3.83/4.00 (2022–2024)

Research Experience

• Agentic Distributed System Ops, Order Lab (CSE), University of Michigan — Advisor: Ryan (Peng) Huang (May 2025–Present)
  • Built an agent-based auto-mitigation prototype for common distributed failures (overload, network faults).
  • Evaluated on ZooKeeper; integrated Prometheus metrics and mitigation via HAProxy, Resilience4j; faults via ChaosBlade/Kazoo.
  • Automated loop: reproduce → measure → mitigate → verify.
• SoftRobot Electronic Control, HDR Lab (Dept. of Robotics), University of Michigan — Advisor: Xiaonan (Sean) Huang (Sept 2024–Present)
  • Motion planning, state estimation, and pose rendering for modular soft-robotic arm sections.
  • Led STM32 & Orange Pi control (C++/Rust): dynamics/PID, CAN/I²C, inter-MCU networking; contributed to PCB.
  • PyTorch (ResNet) for model optimization; industry collaboration with General Motors.
  • Demos/extended abstracts: ICRA 2025 Workshop (Best Poster, Atlanta), RoboSoft 2025 Workshop (Lausanne), ICON 2025 (Purdue).
• LLM-Guided Manipulation with Flexiv 7-DoF Arm, Sirius Lab (SJTU) — Advisor: Yutong Ban (Feb–Sept 2024)
  • LLM→plan pipeline on Flexiv RDK with ZED depth sensing; FK/IK, smooth trajectories, constraints-aware control.
  • Combined simulation and real runs to improve task reliability (e.g., jigsaw assembly).
