Yang Zhou Hi, I'm a first year PhD student at the University of Toronto, supervised by Prof. Steven Waslander in the Toronto Robotics and AI Lab (TRAILab). Previously, I received my B.Eng. in Computer Science from Hunan University. My research lies at the intersection of multimodal learning, generative models and autonomous systems, with a focus on world models, video generation, and action prediction/planning.
