Researcher

Ziang Liu

Ziang Liu works on AI agents for scientific discovery and has contributed to robots that adapt meal assistance to individual users. Liu completed a computer science master’s degree at Stanford. Before beginning his Cornell doctorate in 2023, Liu collaborated with Jiajun Wu and Yunzhu Li on robot learning. Liu coauthored FEAST with a larger Cornell-led team. The system combines modular feeding hardware, several user interfaces and behavior trees adapted through a language model. Two care recipients helped develop and test it.
