Hi, I’m Jiwen. I’m a Ph.D. student at HKU-MMLab, The University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Xihui Liu. I’m currently at 
Xiaomi Robotics, working closely with my friend Yiran Qin.
My research focuses on robotics foundation models and self-evolving embodied intelligence.
Open to collaborations: if these directions interest you, let’s talk!
