Kaifeng Zhang

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in computer science at Columbia University, advised by Prof. Yunzhu Li. I obtained my Bachelors degree from Tsinghua University (Yao Class), where I worked with Prof. Yang Gao and Prof. Li Yi. I also interned at UC San Diego, collaborating with Prof. Xiaolong Wang. Prior to joining Columbia, I completed a year of graduate study at UIUC.

With a broad interest in robotics, computer vision, and machine learning, my research focuses on developing robotic systems capable of understanding the physical world in a generalizable manner. Driven by this goal, I explore topics such as 3D reconstruction, learning-based simulation, and planning or policy learning using learned simulators.
