Yuxuan Kuang

I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at Peking University. During my undergrad years, I have been fortunate to work with Prof. Yue Wang, Prof. Marco Pavone, Prof. Meng Jiang, and Prof. He Wang.

My research interest spans Robotics, 3D Computer Vision and Machine Learning. My research objective is to endow embodied agents working in complex real-world scenes with generalizable manipulation, navigation and control capabilities.

I'll be joining the CMU Robotics Institute as a Ph.D. student in Fall 2025.

How to pronounce my first name?

To approximate: replace the letter "x" with "sh". I also go by Gavin.
Here is a standard Chinese pronunciation of my first name if you wonder:
