I'm Siyuan (Sylvester) Zhang, a passionate robotics enthusiast and master's student in Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University. With a solid foundation in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from Sun Yat-sen University, I advance robotics through innovation and creativity.

My focus spans soft robotics, rehabilitation robot, self-reproducing robot, computational design, and bio-inspired system. By blending advanced modeling, simulation, learning, and optimization, I engineer life-like machines that sense, adapt, and evolve alongside people. My ultimate goal is to craft human-centered robotic system that feel unmistakably alive—machines with a perceptible breath, heartbeat, and responsive presence—so that technology and humanity may flourish together and shape a better world!
