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, deep learning and computer vision, as mentored by Prof. Ruimao Zhang and Prof. Xiaoguang Han in my undergraduate studies. Following my recent work in robotics manipulation safety, I have become interested in:

  1. diffusion models for robot planning
  2. force safety and calibration in contact-rich robotic tasks
  3. multi-modality models for robotic manipulation, especially with Sim2Real transfer

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!
