Haoyu Li

I am a first-year CS PhD student at Texas A&M University, advised by Prof. Yiwei Lyu. Prior to TAMU, I worked with Prof. Xianyi Cheng at Duke University. I earned my master's at the University of Pittsburgh, advised by Prof. Longfei Shangguan.

My research aims to build general-purpose robotic systems that use physical intuition to reason about and interact robustly with unstructured environments.
