Presenter

Hi there! My name is Zhengyi Luo (Zen) and I am a first year PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute, School of Computer Science, advised by Prof. Kris Kitani. I earned my bachelor’s degree from University of Pennsylvania in 2019, where I worked with Prof. Kostas Daniilidis.

My research interest lies at the intersection of computer vision, machine learning, and robotics. I am working on topcis including human pose estimation, human-object interaction estimation, human motion generation etc. Through my research, I want to create methods that effectively interpret spatial-temporal sensory input and build a compositional representation of the 3D world to reason about the interactions between agents and the physical environment. On the application side, I am excited about building systems that would be useful as assistive robots, autonomous vehicles, and AR/VR virtual assistants.
