Ruihan Gao (高睿晗)

I am a 2nd-year PhD Student at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof. Jun-Yan Zhu and Prof. Wenzhen Yuan. My research interests lie in the intersection of machine learning, tactile sensing, and haptic-rendering.

I received B.Eng.(Hons) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore in 2020. After graduation, I joined A*STAR Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R) as a Research Engineer. I am grateful for Prof. Zhiping Lin who led me into academic research and I have spent great time working with Dr. Yan Wu and collegues at A*STAR on robotic tactile sensing projects.

I envision robots interacting with humans naturally and aspires to realize it with multi-modal perception and rendering powered by machine learning.
