Fangzheng Liu is a second-year PhD student at the MIT Media Lab, studying in the Responsive Environments group, advised by Prof. Joseph A. Paradiso and Dr. Ariel Ekblaw.

Fangzheng’s main research interests are miniature robotic swarm and wireless sensor networks for space explorations.

Fangzheng got his first Masters degree in Signal and Information Processing from China in 2018. After that, he went to CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), and worked as an engineer in the AMS-02 (Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer) experiment, a state-of-the-art particle physics detector operating on the International Space Station (ISS). The experiment is led by Nobel Laureate of physics Prof. Samuel C. C. Ting.

After a year of work at CERN, Fangzheng came to the MIT Media Lab. He received his second Masters degree from the MIT Media Lab in 2021 and now is pursuing a Ph.D.
