I am a Digital Future Postdoctoral Fellow in the Division of Robotics, Perception and Learning (RPL) at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, collaborating with Prof. Patric Jensfelt and Dr. Olov Andersson.

Previously I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Robotics at Mechatronics and Robotic Systems (MaRS) Laboratory from Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Prof. Fu Zhang and co-supervised by Prof. James Lam. During my PhD journey, I developed ikd-Tree, FAST-LIO2, and D-Map which have been widely used in LiDAR community. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in School of Automation Science and Electrical Engineering, Beihang University in 2020.

My research mainly focuses on LiDAR-based mapping with applications on Robotics. I am deeply interested in exploring elegant representations of the world, which would definitely unlock the boundless possibilities in Robotics.
