My research focuses on robotic dynamic manipulation and physical interaction. Currently, I’m a Member of Technical Staff at Enact Intelligence, working on force-aware robotic manipulation.

I obtained my PhD from EPFL in 2025 supervised by Prof. Aude Billard, where I discovered some Computational and Physical Structures in Robot Throwing. Previously, I received my M.Sc. in Robotics, Systems and Control from ETH Zurich and my B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering from Jilin University.
