Summary
Youya Xia is a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Cornell University specializing in path planning and visual perception for self-driving vehicles, with an expected graduation before the end of 2024. With eight years of research and teaching experience, he blends strong theoretical foundations—B.S. in Math & CS (GPA 3.985)—with hands-on work as a graduate research assistant and prior research internships at ByteDance on guided reinforcement learning for locomotion. His profile reflects a mix of robotics, perception, and control expertise informed by both academia and industry, and he has supported core CS coursework as a TA (CS3110, CSCI2011). Based in Ithaca, he maintains an active research trajectory and public project footprint (www.xiayouya.com) that surfaces detailed work beyond typical CV entries. Colleagues describe him as methodical and curious, often connecting mathematical rigor to practical system design.
