Ce Hao (郝策)
Assistant Professor · Zhongguancun Academy
I am Ce Hao, and I joined Zhongguancun Academy as an Assistant Professor in 2026. My research focuses on bimanual mobile robot manipulation and the dynamics and locomotion of quadrupedal and humanoid robots.
I graduated with a PhD from the National University of Singapore, supervised by Prof. Harold Soh . Before NUS, I studied at the University of California, Berkeley as a PhD student in Prof. Masayoshi Tomizuka's lab. I obtained MS and BS degrees from Beihang University, supervised by Prof. Jia Song.
