Shuijing Liu (刘水竞)
Welcome to my personal website! I’m a fifth year PhD student in Human-Centered Autonomy Lab in Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, advised by Professor Katherine Driggs-Campbell. My research primarily focuses on autonomous navigation in crowded and interactive environments using machine learning methods. I am also involved in a wide range of other projects, such as language understanding for robots, autonomous driving, and long-horizon manipulation. My long term goal is to enable robots to interact and collaborate with people in daily life.
Previously, I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering from University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in May 2018. Before that, I was born and raised in Zhengzhou, China.
I’m open to work, looking for fulltime research scientist/applied scientist/machine learning engineer roles starting summer 2024. If you know any openings, please contact me! Thank you!.
Research interests:
- Learning-based Robotics
- Machine Learning
- Autonomous Driving
- Human-Robot Interaction
