Liman Wang (王莉漫)
I am a 3rd year PhD student in Intelligent Robotics at the University of York, UK, based at the Institute for Safe Autonomy, under the supervision of Dr. Jihong Zhu. Before starting my PhD, I received my Master's degree in Intelligent Robotics from the University of York with Distinction, ranking first in my cohort. Previously, I worked as an Algorithm Engineer at Schneider Electric for three years.
