Chen Yang (杨 辰)

About:
I am a Senior Researcher at HUAWEI, currently working under the guidance of Dr. Jiemin Fang and Dr. Qi Tian. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Technology from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) in 2025, supervised by Prof. Wei Shen, and completed my bachelor's degree at SJTU in 2019. In 2023, I was honored to receive the MICCAI Young Scientist Award.

Research Interests:
My research focuses on developing world models for embodied AI towards AGI, with particular emphasis on pretrained 3D generation models and 3D reconstruction. I believe world models represent the inevitable path to AGI. If you are interested in my research or have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
