    "summary": "I work on human–robot collaborative (HRC) assembly, focusing on adaptive task allocation and planning that jointly accounts for safety, efficiency, and human factors. My methods combine multi-objective evolutionary optimization, reinforcement self-learning, and fuzzy clustering to plan resources and tasks in shared human–robot assembly systems. I also work on differential evolution algorithm design and benchmark-driven numerical optimization, with applications such as wind farm layout optimization.",
