Han Zhang

I am an incoming PhD student in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, advised by Prof. Shuran Song.

I was a Co-Founder of Dexta Robotics Inc., where I supported projects aimed at helping patients recover from stroke.

Previously, I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Tsinghua University, with a solid background in Electronic Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Huazhe Xu.

I’m always excited about designing and building new hardware!

In my free time, I love developing open-source projects that bring ideas to life in K–12 education, music, and art.
