Yangcen Liu

I'm currently a master student at Gorgia Institute of Technology from 2024 Fall, a member of Robot Learning and Reasoning (RL2) Lab supervised by Prof. Danfei Xu.

Before that, I obtained my Bachelor Degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China from 2020 Fall, and I was fortunate to be a member of Data Intelligence Group supervised by Prof. Wen Li.

Besides, I am deeply grateful to Prof. Ziyi Liu and Yuanhao Zhai for their invaluable support and guidance during my internship with Prof. Junsong Yuan at the University at Buffalo. They taught me how to be a "researcher".

I am working on the field of Embodied AI, and I am interested in how to use human priors (especially video demonstration) to make robots smarter. My current research interests include but are not limited to 1) video processing, and 2) robot learning.

I'm ENTP-A. Outside academia, I love playing sports (Basketball, Badminton) and music (Saxophone), and travelling around the world. I'm a fan of Lebron James (Lakers), Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing), Christiano Ronaldo (Man UNT), and Elon Musk.
