Go forth, then, and do great work.

About Me

Hi, I am Mingxuan Li (李明暄). I am now a Ph.D. student at College of AI, Tsinghua University (THU), under the supervision of Prof. Tao Du from the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences (IIIS). I also obtained my bachelor's degree and Master's degree in M.E. Dept. from Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Yao Jiang from AutoRobot Lab.

I worked as a research intern at the ByteDance Seed Team, working on embodied intelligence algorithms with Seed Edge. Previously, I was a visiting student at MIT CSAIL under the supervision of Prof. Edward H. Adelson. I welcome collaborations and discussions with researchers from different institutions and fields.

I am committed to well-rounded development in both research and leadership. I served as Vice President and Academic Affairs Representative of the Graduate Association in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tsinghua University. I was selected for the “Spark” (星火) Innovative Talent Cultivation Program for Students of Tsinghua University (top 1% for outstanding research performance), led the ClearTactile (清触未来) tech startup team as student head, and served as Vice President of the Hunan Cultural Student Association of Tsinghua.

I am looking for internship and visiting opportunities, please feel free to contact me : )

Research Interests

My research lies in Embodied Intelligence and Robotics, with a particular focus on Tactile Perception & Grasping, Vision-Based Tactile Sensors, Contact Modeling, and Computational Design. I am currently focusing on improving robot grasping and manipulation through contact modelling and tactile sensing.
