👋 Hi, I'm Ruigang Li

I am a direct-entry Ph.D. student at Southeast University, supervised by Harry Shum @IDEA and Yizhong Zhang @MSRA, working on Embodied AI.
Beyond my main research track, I also have an interest in Music Information Retrieval.

👤 Personal

I enjoy dissecting how things work by rebuilding them from scratch — there’s a pure joy in reinventing the wheel, especially with vanilla JavaScript and frontend technologies.
Music has been a longtime hobby: I play several instruments (harmonica, violin, flute, saxophone), though none at a professional level. I’m more drawn to music tech than performance.
I believe research must eventually land in real life and serve daily needs. I’m frugal (perhaps because I currently have low income), and I do enjoy free stuff(白嫖) and occasional reverse engineering. But when it comes to open-source work, I never cut corners !
