About me [CV]
I am an electrical and computer engineering Ph.D. student in the ARCLab at the University of California San Diego (UCSD). My adviser is Professor Michael Yip. Before joining UCSD, I received my bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from National Taiwan University.
My research interests lie in surgical robotics, surgical task automation, robotic manipulation, and robot learning. I am currently developing both learning-based and non-learning-based planning methods to automate complex surgical manipulation tasks requiring dual-arm cooperation.
