About me
I am a graduate student in the M.Sc. program in Geodesy and Geoinformation (GuG) at Technical University of Munich (TUM). Before that, I received my Bachelor’s degree from Wuhan University in 2023. Currently, I am completing my internship at COWA Robot in Shanghai.
My research interests include robotic perception and multi-modal localization.
