胡佳恒
Welcome to my homepage! My name is Jiaheng Hu (Jeff). Starting from Fall 2022, I'm a Computer Science PhD student at UT-Austin, fortunate to be co-advised by Professor Peter Stone and Professor Roberto Martín-Martín. My research interest is in Robot Learning and Reinforcement Learning, with a focus on their applications to Mobile Manipulation.
I obtained my M.S. in Robotics at Carnegie Mellon Univeristy in 2022, supervised by Professor Howie Choset; and graduated summa cum laude from Columbia University with a B.S. in Computer Science in 2020.

- I'm a big fan of contract bridge, and have been playing in various tournaments over the years. I won the 2nd place in the 2022 NABC 0-10k pairs, the champion of 2021 GNT flight C representing NYC, and the 1st prize in 2016 Chinese High School National representing my highschool, RDFZ.
- I play a few video games semi-competitively, including Counter-Strike (MM rank: LE), SGS, and Pokemon (VGC).
- I actively follow soccer tournaments, especially La Liga and Premier League. I used to play in my highschool varsity, but played less frequently nowadays due to injuries.
