Yuze Zhu 朱昱泽

I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at the School of Artificial Intelligence, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS). Since August 2026, I have been a visiting student in Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley. My research interests lie in Embodied AI, with a specific focus on Vision-Language Action (VLA).

Beyond research, I am a passionate photographer. Born and raised in Hangzhou, I spent three years in Beijing for my studies and am now based in Berkeley, California, and I always enjoy meeting friends from around the world. If you would like to chat about research, daily life, or anything culturally Chinese, please feel free to reach out. Emails from anywhere are warmly welcome!
