Qinxi Yu

I am a CS PhD student at UIUC, supervised by Prof. Shenlong Wang. My research focuses on robot learning.

Before this, I completed my CS bachelor’s at the University of Toronto, supervised by Prof. Animesh Garg (now at Georgia Tech). I have also worked closely with Prof. Ken Goldberg at UC Berkeley and Prof. Xiaolong Wang at UC San Diego.

My dream is to make intelligent robots integrated into our daily lives.
