Jiawei Yang

CN Name: 杨佳伟
ECE Master's Student at UCLA
Incoming CS PhD student at USC

I will join USC in 2023 Fall to continue my PhD study, supervised by the incoming Prof. Yue Wang. He is super nice! I also feel lucky to collaborate with Prof. Bolei Zhou at UCLA.

My research interests lie in representation learning, with a focus on self-supervised learning, and have explored it on different data modalities. Now, I am more into 3D perception problem and exploring the field of 3D or 2D-3D joint representation learning, specifically in the area of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF). My goal is to lift the 2D-3D correspondence to a higher level, and explore the possibility of instilling 3D understanding into 2D models.

I’m a firm believer in simplicity and scalability that I love simple ideas that scale well and work well, and want to understand them deeply.
