About Me

Hi! I am Lai Wei, a master student in Computer Science & Engineering at UC San Diego. Before that, I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Science and Engineering at CUHK-Shenzhen.

My research interest lies in robotics, computer vision and embodied AI, as mentored by Prof. Ruimao Zhang and Prof. Xiaoguang Han in my undergraduate studies. Now, I was fortunately advised by Prof. Xiaolong Wang at UC San Diego. With my following my recent work in robotics manipulation safety, I have become interested in:

1. diffusion models for robotic learning
   
2. impedance control for robotic arm or even mobile robots (by whole-body control)
   
3. force safety and calibration in contact-rich robotic tasks
   

Apart from that, I also have interests in other computer science topics, such as: CUDA and HPC, Reinforcement Learning, Linux systems, and LLMs…

Feel free to contact me and discuss with me about everything!
