Hi! I'm Shuying Deng, a first-year PhD student in EECS at UC Berkeley, advised by Professor S. Shankar Sastry.

Previously, I earned my bachelor's degree in Automation from Tsinghua University. During my undergraduate studies, I worked with Professor Huazhe Xu and later with Professor Jitendra Malik.

My research interests lie in robot learning and manipulation, with a focus on the low-level skills behind delicate physical interaction. I am drawn to the small, careful motions humans perform almost without thinking, and to the question of what it would take for robots to move with that same quiet precision and elegance. I hope to bring robotic dexterity closer to that assured touch that complex real-world assistance ultimately demands.

Beyond research, I enjoy architecture🏛️, visual design🎨, photography📸, and exploring the intersection of art and technology.

Feel free to reach out to me by email: shuying(at)berkeley(dot)edu
