Jiaxiao Shi | 史家箫

I am currently a first-year Ph.D. student at MarsLab, 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.
