Summary
Ruoshi Liu is a Research Scientist based in San Francisco with nine years of experience at the intersection of computer vision, robot learning, and dexterous manipulation. After a PhD and MS from Columbia University and research advising under Carl Vondrick, Ruoshi transitioned from academic projects and internships at CERN, Sony R&D, and Snap into industry research roles at Meta and Amazon working on Frontier AI & Robotics. Their background spans diffusion models, biophysics ML, and camera-focused vision research, bringing a rare combination of theoretical depth and hands-on robotics experimentation. Notably, Ruoshi has worked across both foundational research and applied systems—shifting rapidly from FAIR robotics to Amazon’s dexterous manipulation efforts—indicating an ability to bridge lab ideas into real-world robotic capabilities.
