[ {{ ::people:cv_for_yixuan_huang_5_.pdf |Curriculum Vitae}} ]

Hi there, I'm Yixuan Huang!

I'm a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Kahlert School of Computing at the University of Utah. I am fortunate to be advised by [[https://robot-learning.cs.utah.edu/thermans|Prof. Tucker Hermans]]. I am currently working on perception, reasoning, and planning for multi-object manipulation tasks. Before coming to Utah, I worked on sample-efficient reinforcement learning and safe autonomous driving at UC San Diego for two years advised by [[https://scungao.github.io/|Prof. Sicun Gao]]. I got my bachelor degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Northeastern University (China) in 2020.
