Bowen Yang (杨博文)
I am a junior undergraduate at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Paris Elite Institute of Technology. At RethinkLab, I work with Prof. Junchi Yan and Prof. Xiaosong Jia on robotics, especially in VLA models.
I expect to graduate in June 2027 and am seeking PhD positions or full-time roles in robotics, embodied AI, and robot learning.
