Chengshu (Eric) Li
I am currently a fifth-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Stanford University. I am advised by Prof. Fei-Fei Li and Prof. Silvio Savarese at the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab. My research interest lies at robot learning and 3D simulation environment.
I received my B.S. in Computer Science with Distinction from Stanford University in 2017 and M.S. in Management Science & Engineering from Stanford University in 2020. In the past, I've worked/interned at Google DeepMind (robotics team) (2023), Nvidia (2022-2023), Google Brain Robotics (2019-2020), AutoX (2017-2018), Shift (2016), and Tableau (2015).
