Education

Research Experience

Sep 2024 – Present

Graduate Researcher — NTU Robot Learning Lab

  • Conducted research on programmatic reinforcement learning, investigating how program code can serve as a structured and generalizable representation for control policies.
  • Published our work, Hierarchical Programmatic Option Framework, at NeurIPS 2024.
  • Worked on imitation learning from suboptimal demonstrations, focusing on richer supervision signals beyond scalar rewards or weights.
  • Proposed using natural language as an expressive supervision signal for imitation learning in embodied control.
  • Explored diffusion steering through high-level noise prediction with in-context reinforcement learning.
Sep 2023 – Aug 2024

Undergraduate Researcher — NTU Intelligent Robot Lab

  • Worked on robot planning and decision-making with large language models.
  • Explored how semantic reasoning and program structure can improve embodied control and robot task execution.
