Yue Wang
I am an Assistant Professor at USC CS (2023 Fall-), leading the Physical SuperIntelligence Lab. I graduated from MIT EECS in 2022, advised by Prof. Justin Solomon at the Geometric Data Processing Group. Previously, I was a master student at University of California, San Diego. Prior to that, I received my BEng in Computer Science from Zhejiang University.
I am looking to hire multiple PhDs/visiting students who are highly motivated and excited about robotics. For PhD applicants, please mention my name in your application. Interested candidates for internship positions can refer to this job post and I will respond as soon as I find a good fit.
Our goal is to solve the data problem first, then solve robotics. We work on generative data engines for robotics, humanoids, and dexterous manipulation.
