Hung-Ting Su

Senior Associate Researcher, Delta Robotics Innovation Center, Delta Electronics

Ph.D. in Computer Science, National Taiwan University. Former visiting researcher at Columbia University.

I am a researcher-engineer building reliable multimodal AI systems for embodied and long-horizon decision-making, spanning real-world robot learning, tactile/visual policy learning, trustworthy LLM/MLLM reasoning, and multimodal evaluation.

Before joining DRIC, I completed my Ph.D. and later postdoctoral research at National Taiwan University under the supervision of Prof. Winston H. Hsu. During that time, I also collaborated closely with Prof. Min Sun, Prof. Hung-yi Lee, and Prof. Pu-Jen Cheng on trustworthy multimodal reasoning and embodied AI. I was also a visiting researcher at Columbia University, hosted by Prof. Shih-Fu Chang.

I am actively seeking full-time research or applied scientist/engineer roles, as well as postdoctoral opportunities.

About

My work spans robot learning, trustworthy reasoning, and long-horizon multimodal understanding, with recent emphasis on tactile and visual policy learning, VLA-style manipulation, and failure-aware evaluation in real-world settings.

Across robotics, language, and vision, I study how multimodal systems gather evidence, revise beliefs, and remain reliable when observations are incomplete, ambiguous, or physically constrained.
