Hi, I'm Huaze, also go by Patrick. I'm a visiting student at Georgia Institute of Technology working on humanoid robotics and dexterous manipulation, advised by Prof. Ye Zhao.

Previously, I graduated from Harvey Mudd College with high distinction, where I worked with Prof. Adyasha Mohanty on sensor fusion for trustworthy autonomous navigation. I also worked on humanoid robot control under the supervision of Prof. Michael Tolley and Prof. Hao Su at UC San Diego from 2025 to 2026.

I work on robotics control, dexterous manipulation, and reinforcement learning. Broadly speaking, I'm interested in how systems perceive and acts in the real world robustly.

My research focuses on:

• Dexterous Manipulation — integrating model-free learning with physics-based simulation, optimization, and control to solve contact-rich dexterous manipulation efficiently and reliably.
• Whole-Body Manipulation — integrating diverse sensing modalities with whole-body control to solve manipulation tasks beyond table-top settings.
