𝐘𝐚𝐧𝐣𝐢𝐞 𝐙𝐞

I am a 1st-year PhD student at Stanford Computer Science, co-advised by Jiajun Wu and C. Karen Liu. I work on Humanoid Intelligence. Previously, I received Bachelor degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2023), working with Xiaolong Wang and Huazhe Xu.
I will be a research intern at Amazon Frontier AI & Robotics (FAR) lab for summer 2025.
