My information

Full Name: Qinsong Guo

From: Shanghai, China

Education: New York University (2021-2025), Technical University of Denmark (2023).

Major & Minor: Mechanical Engineering (Tandon) & Music (Steinhardt).

Experiences: Robotics, Machine Vision, Mechanical Design, Data Science.

Specialties: Music Production & Composition, Taekwondo.

Born and raised in Shanghai, China, Tim enjoys making music, teaching, and traveling with friends.

Tim pursued a degree in Mechanical Engineering at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, where he actively contributed to both research and outreach:

As the leader of the VIP team Self-Drive, Tim organized public-facing events at Tandon and across NYC, introducing high school students to cutting-edge autonomous navigation technologies. He was also a dedicated mentor in the undergraduate course EG1004, guiding students through various design projects. Beyond teaching, he conducted research in the AI4CE and FAMS labs, focusing on soft robotics and medical sensing. Further, his study abroad experiences in Denmark and Indonesia, and an international internship in China, developed his global problem-solving skills.

Currently, Tim is pursuing higher education in academia, where his diverse experiences in research, leadership, and mentorship position him as a future academic leader in robotics.
