Zicheng Liu

I am an AI researcher working toward trustworthy, scalable, and physically grounded AI systems. I received my M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Hong Kong and my B.Eng. in Artificial Intelligence from Wuhan University.

My goal is to build intelligent systems that can learn from complex data, reason under uncertainty, and interact reliably with the physical world.
