Sixu Lin

First-year CS Ph.D. student working on embodied intelligence, humanoid locomotion, and robotic manipulation.

I am a first-year CS Ph.D. student at the School of Data Science, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-Shenzhen), advised by Prof. Guiliang Liu. I received my B.Eng. in Automation from Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen (2021-2025).

My research interests lie in enabling physical systems to adaptively interact with the world and improve their behavior through experience. In particular, I am interested in humanoid locomotion, generalizable robotic manipulation, and robot representation learning for embodied intelligence.

Before starting my Ph.D., I worked on research projects with collaborators from Tsinghua University, Westlake University, and Shanghai AI Laboratory.
