Hi, I’m Tony, a first-year PhD student in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at MIT, advised by Prof. Kevin Chen. I received (with honors) my bachelor’s degree in Electronic Information Engineering from ShanghaiTech University, advised by Prof. Yu Liu, Weibang Bai, and Jiahao Chen.

I am interested in developing an execution and decision-making system for micro robots that can achieve athletic abilities, robustness, and intelligence in the real world through the conjunction of perception, control, and mechatronic design.
