Computer Vision @ California Institute of Technology.
Hello! I am Ziqi, a PhD student at Caltech. My goal is to let AI understand and act in the physical world. Currently I do this via “world modeling’’ – letting AI learn spatial and physical priors by generating and modeling the world. I am advised by Georgia Gkioxari and Yisong Yue. I interned at World Labs and Meta SuperIntelligence Labs. I am also a Microsoft and UChicago alumni.
