Jiaming Zhou

I am a final-year PhD student at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Guangzhou, under the supervision of Prof. Junwei Liang.

Prior to this, I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering, from Sichuan University in 2020. Then I received my Master degree in Computer Science and Engineering, at Sun Yat-Sen University in 2023, where I was advised by Prof. Wei-Shi Zheng.

My research focuses on generalizable robotic manipulation, particularly on investigating pre-training data and scalable model architectures for robot foundation models.

I am currently seeking a full-time position in industry. Please feel free to reach out if you know of a suitable opportunity.
