🐱 About Me

My name is Ruolin Ye. I am a second-year Ph.D. student at Cornell University supervised by Prof. Tapomayukh Bhattacharjee. I worked with Prof. Cewu Lu, in MVIG Lab during my undergrad at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

My broad research interest is robotic caregiving, and I am especially interested in the task of transferring. I study how to coordinate multiple instrumented assistive devices to complete this task. I am also interested in simulation. I am leading the RCareWorld simulation project.

In my spare time, I volunteer at Wonderful Wheelchairs, a local non-profit organization that repairs and sells assistive devices to people with a low cost. I enjoy horseback riding, sketching, making cocktails, and spending time with my cat.
