Ge Yan

Master of Computer Science, UC San Diego

I am a master's student in Computer Science at UC San Diego, advised by Prof. Xiaolong Wang. My research focus is to develop generally capable robots that can learn to perform complex tasks in the real world with strong generalization ability. To achieve this goal, my research interests span Computer Vision, Robotics, and Reinforcement learning. I am currently working on learning 3D representations for Generalizable Robotic Manipulation.

I am also a strong believer in foundation model and its capability to enable embodied agents to reason and interact with the physical world. I am currently collaborating with Dr. Jim fan at Nvidia, specifically on developing next-generation Generalist Embodied Agents for Game AI.

Misc

I love various music genres, especially classic, rock, and R&B. Lately, I've been drawn to 90s music, especially Japanese songs from that time, e.g. OH NO, OH YES! by Akina Nakamori and First Love by Utada Hikaru. I enjoy the melodies of diverse instruments and am currently learning to play the piano in my spare time.

I also enjoy watching NBA games, with Los Angeles Lakers being my favorite team. I'm a huge fan of LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, always finding inspiration in their spirit.
