The term “journeyman” seems to epitomize Wayne's undergraduate life. Instead of the life within the comfort zone all the way to graduation in the homeland, he enriched last two college years with his footage across those prestigious campus worldwide. From the exchange life in Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, the summer internship in UC San Diego, to the exchange experience in UC Berkeley, these experiences made him gain a harvest and international perspective that most students cannot have.

Actively seeking research or internship opportunity which is starting from May 2025. My research interests lie at the intersection of Robotics, Computer Vision, AI, and Antonomous Driving.
