👋 Hi, I'm Chi! I am currently a graduate student in Computer Engineering at Northwestern University. Currently, I am an intern in the Machine Learning and Language Lab working with Prof. Manling Li, and I also work closely with Prof. Huajie Shao. Previously, I worked in the Machine Vision and Robotics Laboratory at Northeastern University, mentored by Prof. Kechen Song, where I obtained my bachelor's degree in Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering.

I am dedicated to building safer and more interpretable Vision Language Action (VLA) models that tightly integrate data-driven learning with physics-based constraints. Moreover, I firmly believe that the progress of robotics is inseparable from self-evolution and lifelong learning.

I am seeking Ph.D. or Research Assistant position.
