Shuijing Liu (刘水竞)

Welcome to my personal website! I’m a postdoc scholar in UT Austin Robot Perception and Learning Lab, advised by Professor Yuke Zhu. In 2024, I obtained my PhD from Human-Centered Autonomy Lab in Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, advised by Professor Katherine Driggs-Campbell.

My primary research interest is robotic systems that leverages on structured models to operate among humans. My long term goal is to enable robots to interact and collaborate with people in daily life. I advocate for robot learning from the people, with the people, and for the people.
