Zhixuan Liang is a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at The University of Hong Kong specializing in generative models for planning, robot learning, and embodied AI, with first-author papers in top conferences such as ICML and CVPR. He has seven years of research experience spanning academic and industry labs, including visiting roles at UC Berkeley and internships at NVIDIA and Qwen where he worked on diffusion-based skill and manipulation models like AdaptDiffuser and SkillDiffuser. His work bridges theory and practice—publishing novel methods for robot skill generation and multi-modal planning while demonstrating applicability on dexterous manipulation benchmarks (DexHandDiff). Supervised by leading researchers (Ping Luo, Wenping Wang, Masayoshi Tomizuka), he combines strong foundations from Zhejiang University with cutting-edge lab experience in Hong Kong and the U.S. Actively seeking research intern opportunities starting February or summer 2025, he brings a track record of first-author contributions and cross-institutional collaborations that accelerate embodied AI research. An understated strength is his ability to translate complex diffusion-model ideas into reproducible code and experiments that advance real-world robot capabilities.
