Zixiao Wang（王子潇）

📚 Final year graduate student @ PKU

🎓 Accepted to PhD program @ SII, Spring 2026

🚀 Founder of Nerdnet AI Community, actively seeking any opportunities

✉️

Hello! I'm Zixiao Wang, a graduate student in Computer Science at Peking University, expected to graduate in 2026. I specialize in Embodied AI, Autonomous Driving research and engineering practice.

During my master’s, I gained practical experience in VLA modeling, RL decision planning, ROS and simulation, LiDAR-based SLAM and navigation, and BEV perception for autonomous driving. I also founded the Nerdnet AI community and launched AI courses attended by over 1,000 people.

During my undergraduate, I ranked first and secured direct admission to Peking University. I also won the National First Prize in the Service Outsourcing Innovation Competition with our self-developed AI driver-assistance system.

I am passionate about hands-on practice! I'm also familiar with web dev, product design, 3D modeling and printing, circuit design and soldering, embedded programming, image and video processing, and have the ability to develop full-stack products.

Feel free to contact me for any collaboration opportunities!
