Hi, there! Here’s Xueqian. I’m currently a second-year master student at UC San Diego, advised by Prof. Xiaolong Wang. Before coming to UC San Diego, I received my B.E. in Artificial Intelligence from Beijing University of Chemical Technology in 2024. My research interests include soft robot design, reinforcement learning and machine learning.
