About

Hi, I'm Chenduo Ying (应晨铎), a PhD student at Zhejiang University supervised by Prof. Yuanchao Shu. Now, I'm a visiting PhD student at University College London (UCL), hosted by Prof. Chris Xiaoxuan Lu. I have been selected as DAAD AINet Fellow.

My research focuses on reliability and trustworthiness in Embodied AI systems, with a particular interest in vision–language model (VLM), vision–language–action (VLA) models, and the broader World Models.

Feel free to reach out if our interests overlap!
