About me
Hi there, I am Yuchen Zhou (周昱臣)!
I am currently a Ph.D. student at the School of Intelligent Systems Engineering, Sun Yat-sen University, supervised by Prof. Chao Gou and Prof. Guang Tan. I am also a student member of both IEEE and ACM. Previously, I was a research intern at ByteDance, mentored by Dr. Jiuqi Han and Dr. Ali Israr. I received honored B.S. degree from University of Science and Technology Beijing in 2021, and was a short-term visiting student at Peking University.
📣 I am seeking positions as a joint PhD student, visiting student, or research intern. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in my research and want to discuss relevant research topic or potential collaborations! :)
🔍 Research Interests
My research aims to enable AI agents to understand the multi-modal world in a human-like manner, fostering the development of efficient and user-friendly human-machine interaction systems, such as autonomous driving and robotics. I draw inspiration from human cognitive processes, knowledge, and gaze pattern to guide AI models in performing downstream tasks. My recent interests include but are not limited to multi-modal understanding and multi-modal foundation models.
