Hi, I am Jianghan Zhang, a fourth-year undergraduate student at Tandon School of Engineering, NYU.

My current research interests focus on the intersection of optimal control, numerical optimization, and machine learning for robotics.

Over the last two years of my undergraduate studies, I had the privilege of being advised by Prof. Ludovic Righetti at the Machines in Motion Lab, NYU, where I focused on optimal control of robotics. In the summer of 2023, I was fortunate work with Prof. Chen Feng at the AI4CE Lab, on an egocentric action prediction algorithm for human-robot interaction.
