Jinzhou Li

I am a PhD student in Robotics at Duke University, advised by Prof. Xianyi Cheng. Before Duke, I worked with Prof. Hao Dong at Peking University. I did my master's at Cornell University, where I was advised by Prof. Maha Haji, and completed my bachelor's degree at the University of Vermont. I also had the chance to work with Prof. Daniel Hastings at MIT. My research interests focus on general robotic manipulation and multimodal learning, aiming to enable robots to think and act more like humans.
