Hi there!

I'm Yuhang Zhang, a Ph.D. candidate at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, advised by Assoc. Prof. Mir Feroskhan. Before that, I received my M.Eng. from NTU under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Chen Lv, and my B.Eng. from Harbin Engineering University (HEU), supervised by Prof. Ben Guan.

My research focuses on visuomotor learning and vision-language navigation for aerial robots, with the goal of flying drones from a single camera in the real world.
