Jiaxiao Shi | 史家箫 I am currently a first-year Ph.D. student at MARS Lab, Nanyang Technological University, advised by Prof. Jianfei Yang. Previously, I received my B.Eng. from Harbin Institute of Technology, where I worked at the State Key Laboratory of Robotics and System under the supervision of Prof. Hong Liu. I was also interned at Fast-Fire, Zhejiang University, advised by Dr. Yanjun Cao, and at Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI), advised by Dr. Tengyu Liu and Dr. Siyuan Huang. My previous research interests included robotic planning and optimization, autonomous vehicles and aerial robotics. I now focus on dexterous hands and robotic manipulation. I am also an open-source enthusiast who loves building fun things. |

 |
arXiv, 2026 | Nature-Inspired Metaheuristic Optimization; Non-Convex Global Optimization.
ECO is a nature-inspired metaheuristic for non-convex global optimization, evaluated on standard benchmark suites and constrained engineering design problems. |
Projects
|
Open Source, 2026 | Party Games; Web App; Academic Life.
Online party games about academic life, played from everyone's own phone in Chinese or English. In the first game, Double Blind, two research groups race to find their keywords; reveal Reviewer 2 and your paper is rejected on the spot. |
|
 |
Open Source, 2026 | Research Tooling; Literature Management; Coding Agents.
Give it a paper link and a coding agent (Claude Code or Codex) fetches the metadata and PDF, deduplicates, files and tags the paper in Zotero, with the sentence that justifies each tag. The scripts make the decisions; the agent only runs them. |
