Tianyu Ren is a postdoctoral researcher in the Intelligent Autonomous Systems group working on Robotics and Reinforcement Learning. Tianyu joined the lab in July 2019 after receiving his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Tsinghua University in July 2019.

During his Ph.D. research, Tianyu worked under the supervision of Prof. Ken Chen and Prof. Dan Wu focusing particularly on Reinforcement learning and Robot control. He developed a force-controlled industrial robot system from bottom up for a co-project between Tsinghua and Siemens.
