As a postdoctoral research associate in the Autonomous Chemistry Laboratory, Dr. Zhengxue Zhou focus on utilizing AI-powered mobile robot chemists for the discovery of new materials. Prior to joining the Cooper Group, he attained his PhD in robotics from the department of mechanical and production engineering at Aarhus University in Denmark, where he was supervised by Professor Xuping Zhang. During his doctoral studies, he developed an industrial mobile manipulator that incorporated learning-based detection and interaction algorithms for the automation of production tasks in small and medium-sized enterprises. Additionally, he collaborated extensively with local companies such as Jydsk Emblem Fabrik, Vestas Aircoil, and NIZE equipment, participating in the development of automation systems and conducting on-site testing of robotic systems.
