Jiayi Chen | 陈嘉毅

I am a final-year Ph.D. student in computer science at Peking University, advised by Prof. He Wang.

My research focuses on low-level robot planning and control, particularly contact-rich dexterous grasping and manipulation. I believe model-based planning and control offer an efficient and generalizable way to incorporate physical priors into scalable data generation for robot learning. I am actively exploring this direction in my research.
