About Me

Hi! I’m Jingxi (Blair) Lu, a master’s student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California. I grew up in Guangzhou, China, and got my B.S. in Computer Science from BNU-HKBU United International College.

I’m passionate about reinforcement learning, robotics, and figuring out how to make intelligent systems work beyond simulation. My research interests include legged robot locomotion, imitation learning, and combinatorial optimization.

Outside of research, I’m a basketball enthusiast. I find that sports and research have a lot in common – both require patience, persistence, and the willingness to fail many times before things finally work out.
