Ninghan Zhong

I am a first-year PhD student in Robotics at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I received the MASc degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo in 2025, where I was advised by Prof. Stephen L. Smith on learning-based planning. I graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2022. During my undergraduate study, I collaborated with Prof. Katherine Driggs-Campbell in human-robot collaborations. After graduating from UIUC, I had the pleasure to work with Prof. Kris Hauser on mobile robot teleoperation.

My research interests are in robotics and robot learning, particularly in the context of planning, control, and human-robot interactions.
