Zhenjun Yu

My name is Zhenjun Yu. I'm a graduate student majoring in Information Engineering in Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), advised by Prof. Cewu Lu and Dr. Wenqiang Xu. I am expected to graduate in March. 2026. My educational experiences include:

  • Bachelor of Arts (B.Art) @ French, minor in Information Engineering,
    Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China, Sep. 2019 - Jun. 2023;
  • Master of Engineering (M.Eng) @ Information Engineering,
    Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China, Sep. 2023 - Mar. 2026 (expected).
My research interest lies in Robotics, Tactile Sensing, 3D Reconstruction, and Reinforcement Learning. I'm currently looking for job opportunities in Embodied AI, Imitation Learning, and Tactile sensing for manipulation.

My hobbies include basketball, debates and Model United Nations. I was a member of the basketball team and debate team of our institute.
