About Me

Hi! I am Qi Wang (王奇), currently a visiting student at Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo. I received my M.E. in Software Engineering from Xidian University and my B.E. in Communication Engineering from Zhejiang University of Technology.

Looking ahead, I am particularly interested in embodied intelligence and robotic agents that can perceive, reason, plan, and act in complex real-world environments. My previous research and engineering experience has given me a foundation for exploring these questions, and I hope to develop deeper expertise through doctoral study.
