About Me
I’m looking for self-motivated PhD students. If interested, you can contact me by sending email to lidong.yang@polyu.edu.hk
I received my bachelor degree in mechanical design, fabrication, and automation from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2014. From 2014 to 2016, I researched on robotics with the State Key Laboratory of Robotics and System, Harbin Institute of Technology. Advised by Prof. Li Zhang, I received my Ph.D. degree in Mechanical and Automation Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2020 with the committe members: Prof. Yun-hui Liu, Prof. Dong Sun and Prof. Samuel Kwok-Wai Au. Then, I conducted Postdoctoral research at CUHK from 2020 to 2022.
Now, I’m an Assistant Professor at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
