My primary research interests revolve around advancing the realm of intelligent manufacturing, with a vision to serve as a liaison between industry and academia. Specifically, I am deeply passionate about:

  • Integrating motion planning algorithms for autonomous and intelligent robots in manufacturing processes.
  • Exploring the transformative potential of collaborative robots within automation frameworks.

My ultimate career aspiration is to immerse myself in these areas, continually expanding my expertise and actively seeking opportunities to contribute to the progression of intelligent manufacturing technologies.
