Mi Yan | 严汨

I am a third-year PhD student in Peking University, advised by Prof. He Wang. Previously, I received my Bachelor degree from Turing Class, Peking University in 2023.

I mainly focus on the generalization problem in Embodied AI, specifically looking for ways to scale Embodied Foundation Models across diverse tasks, embodiments, scenes, objects, and cameras. This follows my previous research into generalization issues within the field of 3D Vision.
