Yanbaihui (Evelyn) Liu

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the General Robotics Lab at Duke University, advised by Dr. Boyuan Chen.

My research focuses on robot perception and intelligent sensing, exploring how robots can leverage diverse and unconventional sensory signals to perceive aspects of the physical world that are difficult to observe through conventional sensing alone. I develop sensing and learning systems that transform these signals into actionable representations for robotic decision-making, while exploring how robots can adapt what, when, and how they sense based on their task and environment.

Before joining Duke, I earned an M.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Michigan, where I worked with Dr. Maani Ghaffari in CURLY Lab. I also hold a B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
