Juexiao Zhang

Hi, I am currently a second year PhD student in computer science at the Courant Institute at New York University advised by Professor Chen Feng. My First name in Chinese is 觉晓. It comes from a famous poem in Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), which depicts a quiet spring morning. I also go by my English nickname Jeremy.

Previously, I obtained my Bachelor's degree in EE from Tsinghua University and my Master's degree in CS from NYU. During my Master's I was fortunate to work with Prof. Chen Feng AI4CE Lab on scene representation for robotics and Dr. Yubei Chen on unsupervised representation learning. I am interested in learning scene representations that are useful for robots to understand the world and interact with it.
