Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolXinrui Zu is a PhD student and researcher specializing in generative models and unsupervised learning with nine years of experience spanning robot learning, NLP, and cloud research. Currently based in the Netherlands, she moved from ML research roles at TU Delft to robot learning at VU Amsterdam, bringing practical experience from internships at HP, iFLYTEK, and Tencent Cloud. Her background fuses theoretical training in mechanics (Fudan) with hands-on robotics and machine learning education in Twente and Delft, plus interdisciplinary exposure to Chinese business studies in Hong Kong. Comfortable across research and applied settings, she explores how generative methods can enable autonomous systems, and her personal mantra “stay naive” suggests a curiosity-driven approach to tackling hard problems.
