🤖 About Me

  • I’m a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Information Science and Technology at Harbin Institute of Technology, China. I’m currently supervised by Prof. Xu Zhu. I was previously advised by the late Prof. Yang Wang, whose passing was a great loss. I remain grateful for his guidance.

  • I also maintain close collaborations with Prof. Xieyuanli Chen from the National University of Defense Technology, Dr. Congcong Wen from Harvard University and Dr. Sai Manoj Prakhya from Applied Intuition.

  • My research topics are Robotics and Autonomous Driving. I’m particularly interested in the following areas: 3D Perception, World Model, LLM and Embodied AI. I have authored 25+ peer-reviewed academic papers at the top international robotics journals and conferences, such as TIP, RAL, TVT, TIM, Measurement, IROS, and ROBIO.

  • If you’re interested in my research or would like to collaborate, please feel free to contact me via xwzhao@stu.hit.edu.cn or grandzhaoxw@gmail.com. I am also actively seeking postdoctoral or industry opportunities in Robotics, 3D Perception, Embodied AI, and related fields. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there are any openings.

  • Here is my extended CV (pdf).
