Zedi Wang.
I am a master’s student in the School of Computer Science and Engineering at Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU), advised by Prof. Guanbin Li in the HCP Lab. I received my B.Eng. in Computer Science and Technology from SYSU in June 2026. My research focuses on embodied AI and multimodal learning, with a broader interest in building reliable and efficient systems that translate research advances into real-world applications.
