Hi! I am Xiaohui Wang, a first-year Ph.D. student at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), advised by Prof. Ping Tan. Before joining HKUST, I received my bachelorβs degree from Fudan University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Tao Chen at the Fudan EDL Lab. During my time at Fudan, I also collaborated closely with Dr. Peng Ye at MMLab@CUHK.
Before beginning my Ph.D., I was a research intern at TARS Robotics, where I worked with Prof. Wenchao Ding, and at MMLab@HKU, under the supervision of Prof. Ping Luo.
My research interests lie in Efficient AI and Embodied AI.
During my undergraduate studies, I was a member of the EGA Robotics Team, representing Fudan University in the RoboMaster competition.
If you are interested in connecting, collaborating, or discussing ideas, feel free to reach out to me at heatherwang000@gmail.com.
