about me

I study how models perceive and reason about the visual world. My goal is to enable human-centric visual reasoning, a perceptual foundation for the world models and embodied AI systems that will navigate our physical world.

Ruiqi Wang is a Ph.D student in GrUVi Lab at Simon Fraser University, supervised by Prof. Hao(Richard) Zhang.
