人生归零处，恰是万物生

Hi, I'm Yan Qin

I am a PhD student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), specializing in Embodied AI.

My research focuses on robotic manipulation, world models, and VLA models.

I am always open to research collaborations and would be delighted to explore research or internship opportunities.
