Chengshu (Eric) Li

I am currently a second-year master student at Stanford University. I have collaborated with Prof. Silvio Savarese in the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab. I am part of the Jackrabbot team that is focused on social and interactive robot navigation. My research interest lies at the intersection of reinforcement learning, robotics and computer vision.

I received my B.S. in Computer Science with Distinction from Stanford University in 2017. In the past, I've worked/interned at Google Brain Robotics (2019), AutoX (2017-2018), Shift (2016), and Tableau (2015).

I will start my Ph.D. at Stanford in Fall 2020.
