Zheyuan Brian Zhang
Robotics MS Student @ University of Michigan • zheyuan [at] umich [dot] edu
Greetings!
My name is Zheyuan (Brian) Zhang (张喆元 in chinese). I am a master student at the University of Michigan pursuing Robotics MS in the Robotics Institute and Cognitive Science Graduate Certificate in the Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science. Currently, I am a research assistant at the Situated Language and Embodied Dialogue (SLED) lab, advised by Professor Joyce Chai. I am also fortunate to work with Professor Honglak Lee and Professor Chuang Gan. Prior to UMich, I received my undergraduate degree in Computer Science (B.S.) from UMass Amherst, College of Information & Computer Sciences.
My research is centered at the nexus of artificial intelligence and cognitive science, driven by a desire to understand the intricacies of the brain.
“Minds live in bodies, and bodies move through a changing world.” Currently, I am particularly interested in building embodied agents and the following related topics:
- Deep Learning: biologically-inspired neural architectures and learning algorithms for online, continual and few-shot learning, compositionality, interpretability
- Natural Language Processing: human-like reasoning and planning, language grounding to vision and robotics, language acquisition, language emergence
- Robotics and Embodied Intelligence: manipulation, navigation, multi-agent interactions
- Cognitive Science: cognitive psychology, neuroscience
