Hi, I'm Ningwei Bai.

Bio

I am Ningwei Bai, a fourth-year Robotics and AI (MEng) student at University College London. My interests sit around robotics, reinforcement learning, vision-language-action models, and post-training for reasoning large language models.

Outside research, I am also a coffee person with an SCA Intermediate Barista certificate. I like building things carefully, whether that means a robot policy, a small web tool, or a cup of coffee that actually tastes like the idea in my head.
