About Me
Hello, I am Mingjiang Liu. I received my B.E. degree in automation and M.S. degree in control science and engineering from the Department of Control and System Engineering at Nanjing University in 2019 and 2022, respectively, under the supervision of Prof. Chunlin Chen. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. supervised by Dr. Hailong Huang in the Department of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering at PolyU, where I am a member of the Autonomous Interactive Mobile Systems (AIMS) group.
My primary research interests lie in Robotics and Reinforcement Learning, particularly exploring the integration of conventional techniques with learning-based methods to enhance the robustness and adaptability of robot systems. Currently, I focus on the following research topics:
- Human-Robot Collaboration
- Learning for Dynamics, Control, and Planning
