Chenlong Wang (王臣龙)

I am an incoming CS Ph.D. student at Johns Hopkins University. I am fortunate to be advised by Alan Yuille at the CCVL Lab, and to work closely with Postdoctoral Researcher Jieneng Chen at Stanford University. Previously, I had the valuable opportunity to collaborate with Prof. Yao Wan at ONE Lab, HUST and Prof. Tianyi Zhou at UMD.

I study the intersection of Multimodal Intelligence and Spatial Intelligence, especially on Multi Modality, Spatial Reasoning, Representation Learning, and World Modeling. We are working on structuring raw observations of the physical world into structured code, and using it to reason about the physical world elegantly.

Here is my Resume. Please feel free to contact me!
