My name is Tianze Wang. I am a Ph.D. student in the Optimal Robotics Lab at Florida State University, advised by Dr. Christian Hubicki. I received my Bachelor's degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. My research focuses on model-based control and motion-planning algorithms for bipedal locomotion using numerical optimizations. More specifically, I design control frameworks that enable agile obstacle avoidance behavior for dynamic bipedal robots.
