Yen-Jen Wang (王彥仁)
Hi! I am Yen-Jen Wang, a first-year Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley, advised by Koushil Sreenath in the Hybrid Robotics Group (HRG) and Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research Lab (BAIR).
Previously, I obtained M.S. from Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences (IIIS) at Tsinghua University, where I was advised by Jianyu Chen, and I also collaborate closely with Huazhe Xu. Prior to that, I completed B.S. in Computer Science at National Taiwan University. I have also spent time in Google, Pony.ai, Robot Era, and Shanghai Qi Zhi Institute as interns.
My research interests include Robotics, Controls, and Embodied AI, with a particular focus on Humanoid Robots. I also love competitive programming.
If my research or competitive programming interests you, please don’t hesitate to drop me an email. : )
