Han Yang (杨涵)

I am an incoming PhD student at University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst), where I’m fortunate to be advised by Prof. Chuang Gan. I recently graduated from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) with a first-honors degree in Computer Science. During my undergraduate studies, I conducted research in embodied AI, multimodal learning, and generative models under the supervision of Prof. Chuang Gan at UMass Amherst and Prof. Yilun Du at Harvard. I also worked with Prof. Chi-Wing Fu at CUHK, focusing on low-level vision and self/semi-supervised learning.

My research interests lie in embodied AI and robot learning. My goal is to build intelligent agents that can navigate and perform tasks in human environments with accuracy and robustness. I’m particularly interested in robotic perception—how agents can actively perceive, explore, and build representations of their surroundings—and interaction with the physical world, which involves both high-level decision-making and robust low-level motion planning for complex tasks.
