Publications: 'Morphological-Symmetry-Equivariant Policy for Legged Robot Locomotion' and 'Morphological-Symmetry-Equivariant Heterogeneous Graph Neural Network for Robotic Dynamics Learning'; Awards: NSF Travel Grant to attend L4DC 2025.
Research Experience
Research work during Ph.D. includes MS-PPO, a morphology-symmetry-equivariant policy learning framework, and MS-HGNN, a morphological-symmetry-equivariant heterogeneous graph neural network for robotic dynamics learning. Involved in multiple robotics projects such as Vision-Language-Action Models for Robotics and Physics-Informed Learning for Legged Locomotion.
Education
Ph.D. Student in Robotics at Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by Prof. Lu Gan; B.Eng. and M.S. degrees in Information Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) in 2021 & 2024, respectively, under the supervision of Prof. Ya Zhang and Prof. Siheng Chen.
Background
Research Interests: Physics-Informed Learning for Robotics; Field: Robotics; Bio: My name, Sizhe (思哲), means 'Thinking Philosophy' in Chinese and is pronounced roughly as 'Suh-Juh'. My research focuses on integrating physical priors—such as morphological symmetry—into learning architectures to improve sample efficiency, accelerate training, and enhance generalization.
Miscellany
Looking for motivated undergraduates and master's students to join projects in Vision-Language-Action Models for Robotics and Physics-Informed Learning for Legged Locomotion.
