Yichi Zhang
Ph.D. Candidate ⎟ UMich CSE ⎟ Conversational AI ⎟ Embodied AI ⎟ Multi-Modal
Hello! My name is Yichi Zhang, and I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science and Engineering at University of Michigan. I advised by Professor Joyce Chai as a member of the SLED lab. I am broadly interested in the intersection between conversational and embodied AI research, with a particular focus on language grounding to visual and physical contexts, multi-modal dialog, and 3D embodied decision making. I have won the 1st Amazon Alexa Prize SimBot Challenge in 2023 as the team leader of SEAGULL.
Before joining UMich, I obtained my Master’s in Information and Communication Engineering at Tsinghua University in 2020, advised by Professor Zhijian Ou. In 2019, I worked with Professor Zhou Yu as a visiting scholar on task-oriented dialog systems. I got my Bachelor’s in Electronic Information Science and Technology from Tsinghua University in 2017.
