Shutong Liu

Hi there! I'm an undergraduate student at Beihang University, majoring in Computer Science and Technology.

My research interests lie in embodied AI and foundation model pretraining, particularly humanoid foundation models, world-action models, and reinforcement learning for whole-body control. I also work on trustworthy agents and multimodal long-context reasoning.

Starting in 2027, I will pursue a Ph.D. at the School of Artificial Intelligence (SAI), Shanghai Jiao Tong University, in a joint training program with the Shanghai Qi Zhi Institute, under the supervision of Prof. Wei Xu of Tsinghua University’s Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in research collaboration.
