Hi! I am Lai Wei, a second-year master student in Computer Science & Engineering at UC San Diego, fortunately advised by Prof. Xiaolong Wang.

Previously, I received my Bachelor's degree in CSE from CUHK-Shenzhen, where I was advised by Prof. Ruimao Zhang, Prof. Tin Lun Lam, and Prof. Xiaoguang Han.

My research interests lie in the intersection of Robotics and Computer Vision. I am particularly interested in humanoid loco-manipulation and dexterous grasping/tool use, and on merging these capabilities to enable force-aware robotic manipulation in contact-rich environments.

I'm actively applying for Ph.D. positions for Fall 2026.
