Jianhao Yuan
I am a DPhil (PhD) student of University of Oxford, supervised by Prof. Daniele De Martini, Prof. Paul Newman, and Prof. Philip Torr. I also closely work with Prof. Lars Kunze and Dr. Matt Gadd. Prior to this, I completed my undergraduate studies in Engineering Science also at University of Oxford. Previously, I worked as research intern at Meta FAIR, Amazon, and Oxa.
My research focuses on building unified world models that ground perception, language, and action in the physical world. These are models that learn how scenes evolve, how they are described, and how they can be acted upon. Current directions include Vision‑Language(‑Action) Models, Video World Models, and World Action Models.
