ABOUT

I'm currently a  graduate student studying Robotics at Stanford University. My experience is focused on autonomous driving technology including ROS, EKF SLAM, Perception, and motion planning and control. I’m happy to apply the experience and skills I’ve obtained in my past experience in order to manage projects through creative problem solving and innovative thinking. I possess a strong eye for detail and can thrive independently as well as in a team environment.

​

I'm actively seeking a full-time job related to Robotics, self-driving cars, and so on. Please feel free to explore my work and contact me for potential opportunities.

SELECTED PROJECTS

NEAR-ACCIDENT CAR-DRIVING

  • Using hierarchical RL and IL to handle the near-accident car driving scenario

  • take the approach of implementing deep Conditional imitation Imitation Learning (CoIL) to obtain the driver agent model using data generated by predefined dominant control law

  • Reinforcement Learning (RL) is applied to find the policy in high-risk scenarios via switching the driving agent model considering both efficiency and safety.

  • Technical keywords: RL, IL, CoIL, PPO, CARLO, Pytorch, TensorFlow

AUTONOMOUS FOOD DELIVERY PROJECT

  • Using SLAM to detect and explore the 3D model environment and store the map and food position. Autonomously deliver the food to the given position, mainly in charge of the motion planning, EKF SLAM, and shortest path algorithm.

  • EKF SLAM was used for map exploration and localization. A* method is used for motion planning. Tensorflow is used for perception (food recognition and Stop sign detection).

  • Technical keywords: ROS, EKF SLAM, CNN, A*, python, Tensor Flow

PHOTO SHARING APP

CS142 Project

  • Implement a full-stack photo sharing web application where users can register an account, post photos, check other users’ photos, and post comments. Like a web version of Instagram.

  • Using React.js for front-end view, Express.js for the controller, and MongoDB for the data storage system.

  • Techincal keywords: JavaScript, Node.js, React, HTML, CSS, MongoDB
