Jianqing Chen
Affiliate, Mechanical Engineering - Design
Visiting Scholar, Mechanical Engineering - DesignBioMy work focuses on robotic remote control and manipulation systems utilizing reinforcement learning (RL). The research centers on developing RL-based algorithms that enable robots to learn optimal control strategies for tasks such as navigation, object manipulation, and interaction within dynamic environments. By training robots through iterative trial-and-error processes, these systems continuously improve performance, adapt to new situations, and enhance autonomous control. The broader goal is to achieve more efficient, precise, and scalable robotic behavior in real-world applications.
In parallel, I have over seven years of experience in investment and asset management. I lead 280 Capital, a family-backed investment office overseeing more than $1 billion across digital assets and emerging technologies.
My technical background spans artificial intelligence, enterprise storage systems, encryption, and large-scale computing infrastructure. I contributed to the design of next-generation enterprise SSD controller and storage system chips ranging from 16nm to 7nm at Broadcom and SK Hynix. At Roche, I led the construction and optimization of large-scale biodata software and hardware architectures supporting advanced DNA sequencing and scalable computational biology workloads. I also hold multiple U.S. patents related to improving storage and computing efficiency through deep learning, AI, and advanced systems design. -
Woongbi Cho
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioWoongbi Cho is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. He received his B.S. in Polymer Science and Engineering from Inha University in February 2019 , and his Ph.D. in Organic and Nano Engineering from Hanyang University in February 2025. His doctoral research focused on developing next-generation polymer composites, emphasizing processing-structure-property-performance (PSPP) relationships in liquid crystalline and sulfur-rich polymers. Currently, Woongbi's research interests center on adaptive materials, electromagnetically (EM)-driven soft robotics, polymer assembly mechanisms, and active metamaterials for applications in soft robotics, optoelectronics, and energy harvesting.
