Hi! I'm Jim, a first year PhD at the University of Washington advised by Dieter Fox. I obtained my MS in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Deepak Pathak and Ruslan Salakhutdinov. I have had the opportunity to work closely with Prof. Kevin Chen at MIT, Prof. Wenzeng Zhang at Tsinghua University (now at X-Institute), and Prof. Wei Zhang at SUSTech. I'm broadly interested in robotics and AI, with a focus on leveraging large-scale simulation to advance data-driven learning for robotics. My current work draws on imitation and reinforcement learning, with applications in motion planning and dexterous manipulation. Ultimately, I aim to move towards general-purpose robot agents that can be deployed in the real-world. Feel free to contact me via email! You can reach me at jiahuiya -at- cs dot washington dot edu |
