Zhengrong Xue | 薛峥嵘

Ph.D. student in embodied AI | 具身智能, Tsinghua University IIIS | 清华叉院

I am a second-year Ph.D. student at Tsinghua Embodied AI Lab (TEA Lab) affiliated to Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences (IIIS), Tsinghua University under the supervision of Prof. Huazhe Xu. Previously, I received my Bachelor's Degree at AI class, Shanghai Jiao Tong University where I was advised by Prof. Cewu Lu. In the summer of 2023, I shortly visited Prof. Hao Su at UC San Diego.

In my spare time, I enjoy photography📷 & traveling🌄, foods🥘 & drinks🍷, tennis🎾 & Formula One racing🏎.

Feel free to contact me via email xzr23@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn.

Research interest

I am broadly interested in embodied AI, especially robotic manipulation and imitation learning. My recent research goal is to develop more generalizable, dexterous, and data-efficient robot learning algorithms and systems for robotic manipulation.
