Chendi Qu (屈晨迪)

Welcome to my personal website!

I’m a final year PhD student from the Department of Automation, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China. I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Jianping He and Prof. Xiaoming Duan in IWIN-FINS Lab. I received my B.E. degree advised by Prof. Yilin Mo in the Department of Automation from Tsinghua University, China, in 2021. I’m currently an intern in AgiBot mentored by Dr. Jianlan Luo, working on VLA post-training and RL fine-tuning.

My research background lies in the intersection of optimal control and optimization. During my Phd, I mainly focus on learning from demonstrations (inverse optimal control) applied for robots. I dedicate to build a bridge between optimal control and reinforcement learning communities as a long-term goal.

I am seeking postdoctoral opportunities (2026 Spring)
Always open to any potential collaboration. Please feel free to reach out!!
