Zewen (Anthony) Chen ι™ˆζ³½ζ–‡

I am a second-year M.S. student in Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University, working as a research student in the ROAM Lab under the supervision of Professor Matei Ciocarlie. My current research focuses on dexterous robot manipulation through model and learning-based control. As a full-stack roboticist, I have a strong background in hardware design, control theory, and machine learning, and I aim to integrate these disciplines to create novel robots with unprecedented functionalities.

Before joining Columbia, I earned a B.E. in Automation with a concentration in Robotics and an M.S. in Design Science (under Computer Science department) with a concentration in Human-Computer Interaction from Zhejiang University. There, I worked in the NEXT Lab under the supervision of Professor Kejun Zhang. As part of my M.S. in Design at Zhejiang University, my research focused on improving the design efficiency of Chinese typeface designers through AI-assisted methods, incorporating image generation, semantic segmentation, and human-computer interaction principles. During this period, I also worked as a Research Collaborator at JadeFoci, where I explored the structural composition rule of Chinese characters and contributed to the development of intelligent typeface design tools powered by AI.

I am currently seeking Ph.D. opportunities in robotics and related fields. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in my background or would like to connect.
