Profile

Zijing Yang 杨子靖

I am a senior undergraduate student in Electronic Information Engineering at Tianjin University. I am currently an exchange student at The University of Hong Kong, where I work as a Research Assistant in the Miro Dynamics - HKU CGVU Joint Lab. It is led by Director Dr. Zhouyingcheng Liao and Research Lead Dr. Wenjia Wang, with Prof. Taku Komura as Principal Investigator.

My current interests are in embodied intelligence, human-centered perception, and robotic systems. I am interested in how embodied systems can perceive people and their surroundings, reason about physical interactions, and act in the real world.

Before coming to HKU, I worked in the DEX-ROB Lab at Tianjin University, led by Prof. Shan An, on robotic dexterous grasping and visual perception systems. I also participated in international exchange and summer research programs, and enjoy working across the boundary between learning-based perception and real robotic systems.
