Jinzhou Li

I am a Ph.D. student in Robotics at Duke University, advised by Prof. Xianyi Cheng. Before Duke, I worked with Prof. Hao Dong at Peking University. I completed my master's at Cornell University, advised by Prof. Maha Haji and Prof. Daniel Hastings, and earned my bachelor's degree from the University of Vermont. My research focuses on dexterous manipulation, tactile sensing, and reinforcement learning.
