Ziniu Wu

👋 Hi there! My name is Ziniu WU. I am a PhD Researcher in Robotics & Machine Learning at the University of Bristol. I am a part of the Aerial Robotics Group, Bristol Flight Lab and Bristol Robotics Laboratory. I am co-supervised by Dr. Bahadir Kocer and Prof. Arthur Richards.

My research lies at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and autonomous systems, with a particular focus on continual learning for dynamical systems. I develop learning algorithms that enable autonomous robots to adapt continually to changing and uncertain environments while maintaining robustness, stability, and long-term performance. My broader interests include robot learning, reinforcement learning, embodied intelligence, and adaptive autonomy.

Prior to my PhD, I completed research internships in Robot Learning at the Shanghai AI Laboratory and Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. I hold an MSc in Robotics from the University of Bristol, and a BSc in Applied Mathematics jointly awarded by from the University of Liverpool and Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University.

💡 Please do not hesitate to reach out to me for a coffee chat!
