Hi, I’m Zesen! I’m a PhD student at the University of Michigan, advised by Prof. Z. Morley Mao. I also completed my undergraduate studies at Michigan, with a double major in Computer Science and Neuroscience.
I explore various topics in robotics, with a primary focus on dexterous hands, robotic foundation models, and embodied agents.
01 / Research
Dexterous Hands
Dexterity and
robotic manipulation.
Robotic Foundation Models
