Jiageng Liu (刘家耕)

I am currently a second-year master student in the College of Information and Computer Sciences (CICS) at University of Massachusetts Amherst I am currently working closely with Prof. Ming-Hsuan Yang .

Before that, I received my Bachelor's degree in Artificial Intelligence from the Turing Class, Chu Kochen Honors College & College of Computer Science and Technology, Zhejiang University, supervised by Prof. Zhou Zhao.

My research interests lie in Embodied AI and Computer Vision.

I am actively seeking PhD positions in Embodied AI and Computer Vision. My interim goal is to build or utilize a world model. Feel free to have a chat with me if you are interested!

Research

My research revolves around embodied AI and generative simulation, exploring how agents interact with complex 3D environments. I'm also excited about bridging large language models with multi-modal tasks in computer vision.
