Research Interests

My attention is currently focused on solving problems within the realms of machine learning, embodied intelligence, and the application of artificial intelligence to engineering and manufacturing. My life goal is to design complex engineering systems capable of evolution and adaptation. Proficient in optimization techniques and manufacturing, I bring expertise to the intersection of cutting-edge technology and practical engineering solutions.
