I was happily married to my husband [[Yi Chen|http://www.rpi.edu/~cheny14/]] 陈 奕 on June 20, 2009. And we made a website for our wedding photos [[http://www.emmalzhang.com|http://www.emmalzhang.com]].

I love reading science fiction, traveling and jogging during spare time. Sometimes I love to pretend that I know something about photography. 

And I love Maltese dogs.

Hi. I am a fourth year PhD student in Computer Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute studying Robotics. I'm working with [[Professor Jeff Trinkle|http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~trink/]] in the [[Robotics Lab|http://www.cs.rpi.edu/twiki/view/RoboticsWeb/WebHome]]. My general research interests include: Robot Manipulation and Grasping, Multibody Dynamics Simulation, Control and Sensor Fusion. 

Please check out my [[Research Projects]], [[Publications]] and [[Coursework]] to see what I've been working on. Also you can find what I have done before I came to study in US at [[Past Work In China]] . 

I have worked with [[Willow Garage|http://www.willowgarage.com]] during 2011 spring as a Grasping and Manipulation Intern.
