Yunzhe "Jonas" Li

I'm pursuing a master’s degree in the Department of EECS at UC Berkeley. I am graciously to be an alumnus of both RoboMaster and FIRST, and affiliated with DJI as an event technical executive.

Previously, I worked as a software engineer at Momenta, contributing to the autopilot reversing feature for GM Cadillac LYRIQ. My work involved developing a stuck-state detection benchmark for reversing maneuvers, evaluating 800+ real parking test cases across 30+ garages, and optimizing SVM-based classification to reduce false positives by 15%.

I earned a B.E. in Computer Science from Shanghai University, where I led a 40-member team in the RoboMaster competition, developing 8 types of robots from scratch over 4 years and earning 3rd place in the Shanghai Regional Competition.

My interest at the intersection of computer vision, AI, and robotics was ignited in high school, where I actively participated in the FIRST Tech Challenge as a team lead. We achieved 2 FIRST World Championship admissions, 1 Inspire Award, and 4 Connect Awards over 3 years.

Currently, I aim to explore Vision-Language navigation to address the limitations of vision-only models in understanding intent and natural human interaction

Misc

I love walking by the ocean, soaking in the sea breeze, and watching the sunsets. The beaches in La Jolla and Berkeley always leave me feeling refreshed and inspiring.
