Integrative Systems and Design

I’m a senior undergraduate student from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology majoring in
Integrative Systems and Design (ISD) and
Computer Science. Sometimes, I go by my nickname, Tom Notch.
I love all kinds of technology, robotics in particular. I have been participating in robotics competitions since elementary school, so I understand how far robots are from humans, and I’m working hard to close the gap.
I participated in the WildFire project as a Research Associate at the AirLab,
Robotics Institute,
Carnegie Mellon University from January to August in 2023.
