Hello! ๐Ÿ‘‹

I’m Chongyang, a researcher who’s into physical AI & robotics, equally passionate about sports, music, humanities, and sociology. I’m doing multimodal learning and reinforcement learning in the grandest simulator of all: life โ€” one episode at a time, learning what’s worth the strife.

I’m openly seeking collaborations โ€” if you have any research ideas or projects, feel free to reach out!

Education ๐ŸŽ“

I’ve been studying at Sichuan University for 7 years and have fallen deeply in love with Chengdu. I received my B.Eng. in Software Engineering and am now pursuing my Ph.D. in Computer Science.

Ph.D. in Computer Science and Technology
Sep. 2023 โ€” Present (expected Jun. 2028)
Advisor: Prof. Ziliang Feng.
B.Eng. in Software Engineering
Sep. 2019 โ€” Jun. 2023

Research Journey ๐Ÿš€

I started my research journey with human motion capture and social behavior recognition, then pivoted into embodied AI โ€” interning at MEGVII (ๆ—ท่ง†็ง‘ๆŠ€) and Dexmal (ๅŽŸๅŠ›็ตๆœบ) on embodied simulation, bimanual manipulation, and VLA. Now I'm an Embodied AI Intern at Tongyi Robotics (้€šไน‰ๅ…ท่บซๅฎž้ชŒๅฎค), investigating how far embodied intelligence can scale โ€” from walking to manipulating, all in one body.
