Chuanruo Ning

I’m a second-year CS PhD student at Cornell University working with Prof. Wei-Chiu Ma and Prof. Kuan Fang. I obtained my bachelor degree from Turing class at Peking University. I’m interested in leveraging 3D information to help robot manipulation. I was fortunate to have worked with Prof. Alan Yuille, Prof. Hao Dong, and Dr. Kaichun Mo.
