Profile
I received my BS degree in automation from Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China, in 2011, and my ME degree in software engineering and PhD degree in control science and engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China in 2014 and 2020, respectively.
From 2021.1-2024.3, I was a postdoc at the School of Artificial Intelligence and Automation, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. I was awarded a grant for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships, funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), and I am now a UKRI Research Fellow at School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK.
Research interests
My current research interests lie in rehabilitation-assisted robotics, with a focus on human-robot interaction, robot control, nonlinear systems, and musculoskeletal modelling.
