About Me

I currently read Engineering at the University of Cambridge, where I focus on research, entrepreneurship and personal growth.

As a student supervised by research fellows at Trinity College Cambridge, I work on developing the next generation mechatronics systems and embodied AI technologies. My work aims to integrate AI, software and hardware into the real world in order to deliver tangible value to society.

I'm particularly interested in technologies that extend human capabilities, such as embodied AI and humanoid robotics. My long-term ambition is to help build companies and technologies that endure — not by following hype, but by solving consequential problems with strong technical foundations.

My guiding philosophies:

  1. Transform problems into autonomous systems that compound
  2. Reason from first principles
  3. Optimise for truth, usefulness and impact

Technological innovation is not a choice, but a necessity. Human civilisation is characterised by our relentless pursuit for growth, pushing the boundaries of our reach towards the sea of stars.
