Sirui Xu
(徐思睿)
Ph.D. @ UIUC

I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Yuxiong Wang and Prof. Liangyan Gui. Prior to this, I earned my M.S. from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and my B.S. from Peking University.
I explore how humans move and how machines can learn to move like us, building models that capture human-like behavior and bring it to life with physical dexterity, agility, and even abilities beyond our own. My focus spans kinematic motion modeling, physics-based animation, and robotic control, with a special interest in human interaction and humanoid loco-manipulation in both simulation and the real world.
I am always opened for discussion and collaboration, drop me an email if you are interested.
