👋 Hi there! My name is Ziniu WU. I am a Postgraduate Researcher in Robotics at the University of Bristol (UoB) and affiliated with the Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL). I am co-supervised by Dr. Bahadir Kocer and Prof. Arthur Richards. My research focuses on Continual Learning for Dynamical Systems to enhance their adaptation and robustness in unconstructed and dynamic environments.

Before starting my PhD studies, I have undertaken Research Internships in Robot Learning at the Shanghai AI Laboratory and Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. Prior to that, I received an MSc in Robotics from the University of Bristol, and a BSc in Applied Mathematics from the University of Liverpool and Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University.
