Yuyang Li

PhD Student at Peking University

I am currently an incoming PhD student at the CoRe Lab, PKU Institute for AI, advised by Prof. Yixin Zhu. I am also a research intern at the General Vision Lab, BIGAI, under the guidance of Dr. Tengyu Liu. I obtained my bachelor's degree in engineering from the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University, as a core member and the technical lead of the Cultivating Talents Program in General AI (Tong Class).

My research interests lie in the intersection of robotics, 3D computer vision, and cognitive reasoning, focusing on physical commonsense reasoning and dexterous manipulation based on visuo-tactile perception. My long-term goal is to create embodied intelligence that perceives, understands, and interacts with 3D scenes, equipped with versatile kinematic functionalities.

In addition to my research, I am an amateur photographer. Check out my photos here!
