Hi, I’m currently third-year Ph.D. candidate at Xtian Group, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, where I have the honor to be supervised by Prof. Xiaohua Tian.
I received my bachelor’s degree from the School of Electronics and Information, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, China, in 2023. (Rank: 1/98).
My previous research focused on Hybrid Active-Passive Communication Systems for Ambient IoT. I am now building Physical AI Agents that sense, reason, and act in the radio world, using LLM-powered systems to tackle domain-specific wireless tasks.
I was selected for the 2026 Tencent Rhino-bird Research Elite Program (2026腾讯犀牛鸟精英人才计划) and am currently interning at Tencent IEG, working closely with Wenjin Wang on game narrative agents and foundation models.

🚀 Projects

International SparkLink Alliance
- Our ultimate objective is to develop a robust alternative to RFID and integrate this technology into the International SparkLink Alliance standard system.
- The physical prototypes and artifacts related to this work are exhibited at the Science and Technology Achievement Exhibition Hall of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (Wenbo Building, Minhang Campus)

- We independently design and build two transformable dance robots from scratch. One is a bipedal humanoid robot inspired by a lion, and the other is a quadrupedal heteromorphic robot designed in the shape of a jellyfish. We showcase these platforms at the 2021 China Robot Competition and proudly won the National Champion in the Dance Robot category. [bilibili]
