Zhaodong Yang
My name is Zhaodong Yang and I am a Robotics PhD student at Georgia Institute of Technology, co-advised under Prof. Harish Ravichandar and Dr. Ai-Ping Hu. My research focus at Georgia Tech is about learning for dexterous manipulation & soft contact with deformation. I received my M.S. in Robotics degree at Georgia Tech in 2023. Before coming to Georgia Tech, I received my B.S. in Automation (Control) from Zhejiang University in 2021.
