Incoming M.Sc. in Computer Science at CUHK · Fall 2026

Jianfa Ma (马健发)

Embodied AI & Robotics Algorithm Engineer

Seeking algorithm engineering internships in humanoid robotics and UAV systems Open to 2027 graduate roles

I build perception, reasoning, planning, and control systems for embodied agents operating in real-world environments. My work spans vision-language navigation, autonomous driving, 3D occupancy prediction, and aerial robotics.

I am completing my B.Eng. in Computer Science at SUSTech and will begin my M.Sc. in Computer Science at CUHK in Fall 2026. I enjoy turning research ideas into deployable robotic systems, from model development and simulation to ROS integration and real-world experiments.
