Shiqi Zhang, Ph.D.

Shiqi Zhang

I am an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the State University of New York at Binghamton (SUNY Binghamton). I am the Coordinator of the AI Tracks (Undergraduate and Graduate) of Computer Science at the School of Computing. I lead the Autonomous Intelligent Robotics (AIR) research group.

I work on Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Human-Robot Systems. I was a Postdoc under Peter Stone at the University of Texas at Austin (2014-2016), and received my Ph.D. (2013) under Mohan Sridharan in Computer Science from Texas Tech University. Before that, I received my M.S. and B.S. degrees from Harbin Institute of Technology.

My CV (pdf) was updated in July 2022. Here's a short bio (txt, updated in 2020), and my name in Chinese (png). Feel free to ping me at Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

Reading group on Human-Robot Systems.. Drop an email to Yohei Hayamizu if you are interested in reading papers with us (you are expected to lead a discussion every now and then).
