Yue Zhang

Hello! I am a postdoctoral research associate in the MURGe-Lab led by Prof. Mohit Bansal, at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. I earned my Ph.D. at Michigan State University, where I was advised by Prof. Parisa Kordjamshidi. I was a visiting scholar at Virginia Tech, collaborating with Prof. Lifu Huang. Prior to Ph.D. study, I obtained my master’s degree from Peking University. My research interests include multimodal learning, embodied agents, and spatial reasoning.
