Hi there! I'm a first-year undergraduate student at Peking University, majoring in Artificial Intelligence. Currently, I am a research intern at the HMI Lab at Peking University, advised by Prof. Shanghang Zhang. My research interests lie in Embodied AI, especially in World Models and Vision-Language-Action models, as well as Deep Reinforcement Learning.

arXiv preprint, 2026
arXiv / Project / Code

Aligns human-hand and robot demonstrations in a shared latent space through an action-conditioned world model, enabling low-cost, data-efficient transfer of physical reasoning to robot manipulation.

arXiv preprint, 2026
arXiv / Project / Code

A reinforcement-learning framework that lets a VLA policy perform adaptive latent chain-of-thought reasoning before acting, sharply improving manipulation generalization and execution stability.
