Hi! I am Yen-Jen Wang, a second-year Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley, advised by Professors Koushil Sreenath and Pieter Abbeel. I also work closely with Professors Haozhi Qi and Shankar Sastry.

Previously, I received my M.S. from Tsinghua University, where I was advised by Professor Jianyu Chen, and my B.S. from National Taiwan University.

My research interests include Humanoid Whole-body Control, Dexterous Manipulation, and Foundation Model for Robotics. You can find my research work on my Google Scholar profile, along with a selection highlighted on this website. Outside of research, I also enjoy competitive programming.

Feel free to email me if my experience is of interest to you. : )
