Ciyu Ruan | 阮慈棫
Hi there! I am a final-year Master’s student at Tsinghua University SIGS, advised by Prof. Xinlei Chen.
My research lies at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and mobile computing, aiming to advance efficient and robust perception for autonomous systems. Recently, I have been exploring how to accelerate scene understanding in large language models for more efficient perception.
🎓 I am seeking a Ph.D. position for Fall 2026 and would be happy to connect regarding potential opportunities.
I am a third-year Master’s student in Data Science and Information Technology at the Institute of Data and Information, Tsinghua University SIGS. Prior to that, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Robotics Engineering with Excellent Graduate honors from National University of Defense Technology.
