Bangjun Wang
CS PhD Student at The University of Hong Kong (HKU)
Hi, I am a first-year Ph.D. student at HKU MMLab, co-advised by Prof. Hongyang Li and Prof. Yi Ma. I received my Bachelor's degree with honors from the first session of Guozhi Class (held by Prof. Xiaoou Tang and Prof. Cewu Lu), Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Previously, I was a visiting scholar at the University of Southern California (USC), supervised by Prof. Yue Wang, and the National University of Singapore (NUS), supervised by Prof. Lin Shao. I also worked with Prof. Hao Dong and Prof. Junchi Yan before during my undergraduate years. My research focuses on Embodied AI, Robotic Manipulation, and Foundation Models. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in my research or would like to collaborate on any related topics!

Misc
Music
- I have a pretty eclectic taste in music, but my favorites are definitely classical, jazz, blues, and R&B.
- My favorite classical music is from the mid to the late Romantic period. Specifically, I have a passion for the works of Mahler, Rachmaninoff, and Wagner.
- Actually, many items on my life bucket list are related to music, but I prefer not to share them with others until I accomplish them.
Sports
- My favorite sports are tennis and running. I'm the type of player who sticks to using a single backhand.
Art and Design
- I am a big fan of art and design and am always willing to pay for them.
- Recently, I am learning graphical design and digital art systematically in my spare time.
- I love photography and cinematography.
