Zhenyu Zhao

I’m a senior at the University of Southern California, advised by Prof. Yue Wang. My research focuses on general-purpose intelligence for humanoid robots, spanning teleoperation, policy learning, and policy evaluation. I care deeply about open-source research and aim to make my work fully reproducible and easy for others to build on.
