Yen-Jen Wang 王彥仁

Building physical AGI. From algorithms to atoms.

I build learning systems for general‑purpose humanoid robots, spanning vision‑language reasoning, whole‑body control, and dexterous manipulation.

I am a Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley, advised by Professors Pieter Abbeel and Shankar Sastry, and currently a research intern at Amazon FAR.

I also work closely with Professors Haozhi Qi, Koushil Sreenath, and Jitendra Malik.
