About Me

Welcome! I am Xingpeng Sun, a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Purdue University. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Aniket Bera. Previously, I received my B.S. degree in Computer Science and Mathematics at University of Wisconsin-Madison with Distinctive Scholastic Achievement.

My research interest is in foundation model, robotics, and graphics. I am eager to work on the intersection of large language model (LLM) + robotics & graphics, focus on advancing the capabilities and safety of autonomous systems through enhanced natural language understanding and decision-making processes. I also work on text-guided trajectory generation and 3D assets editing.

I am actively seeking research internship opportunities in LLM/VLM, Embodied AI, and AIGC for summer 2025. If you know of any exciting opportunities or just want to chat about potential collaborations, feel free to drop me an email.

Miscellaneous

I like to watch soccer games, and also travelling. I wrote a course guide about all courses that I’ve taken at UW-Madison. My girlfriend is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry at Purdue University. Her research focuses on the specialized field of Mass Spectrometry Imaging.
