Michael (Jiahe) Pan

I am a visiting researcher at Berkeley AI Research (BAIR) working on dexterous robot manipulation, under the supervision of Prof. Jitendra Malik. I am also a final-year Master’s student in Robotics at ETH Zürich, advised by Prof. Stelian Coros.

Previously, I worked on rapid real-world policy learning using differentiable simulation, under the supervision of Prof. Davide Scaramuzza. Prior to that, I worked on haptic and AR-augmented teleoperation interfaces for adaptive human-robot shared control.

My current research interests revolve around designing novel robot learning frameworks through efficient real-world interaction to achieve agile and adaptive behaviors in complex and dynamic real-world environments.

I am currently seeking PhD positions starting Fall 2026!
