About
Peihao Li (李沛豪) is a master's student in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) at UC Berkeley, supported by the Fung Excellence Scholarship. He is a graduate researcher at Berkeley AI Research (BAIR) Lab, where he works with Prof. Jitendra Malik. He has also been fortunate to collaborate closely with Prof. Pieter Abbeel, Prof. Chenfanfu Jiang, Prof. Yin Yang, and Prof. Jiajun Wu. He received his B.S. in Computer Science, with a minor in Mathematics, from the University of Michigan. His research interests lie in robot learning through physically grounded perception and representations, with the goal of closing the loop between pixels, physics, and policy.
