Haoxiang You

I’m Haoxiang You (尤皓翔), a final-year Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering at Yale University. Previously, I earned my master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania, and my bachelor’s degree from Ningbo University. Outside the lab, I enjoy DIY projects, cooking, and computer games.

I work on robotics, physical agents, reinforcement learning and simulation. Along the way I have worked across much of the robotics stack, including hardware design, control, data collection, simulation, model training, agentic workflows and deployment. More recently, my interests lie in agentic robotics: evaluating coding agents on long-horizon physical tasks, integrating them as the robot brain, and using them as a scalable data engine for training low-level cerebellum policies such as VLAs. You can find some examples here.

I am on the job market and expect to graduate in 2027. My CV is available here. If you think I could be a good fit for your team, please reach out at haoxiang.you@yale.edu.
