Chuanruo Ning

I’m a third-year CS PhD student at Cornell University working with Prof. Wei-Chiu Ma and Prof. Kuan Fang. I’m currently interning at NVIDIA, where I work on learning dexterous hand manipulation with foundation models. I obtained my bachelor’s degree from the Turing Class at Peking University. I’m interested in leveraging 3D information to advance robot manipulation. I was fortunate to have worked with Prof. Alan Yuille, Prof. Hao Dong, and Dr. Kaichun Mo.
