Anthony Bolton

I work on problems in robot learning and dexterous manipulation.

I am currently a part of the BIGAI dexterity team, advised by Dr. Siyuan Huang. Prior to this, I was at Peking University CFCS and AGIBOT, advised by Prof. Hao Dong.

I received my MEng in EECS from Imperial in 2025, where I was advised by Prof. Danilo Mandic and was part of the AIDA Lab. My thesis work was published at ICASSP and selected for an oral presentation. In summer 2023, I worked with Dr. Aaron (Yiren) Zhao and Dr. Ilia Shumailov at the DeepWok Lab, where I received the UROP Award. I also joined a fintech startup as part of my industrial placement in 2024.
