Harbin Institute of Technology

I am Yi’ang Chen (陈奕昂), a Master’s student in Computer Technology at Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), expected to graduate in June 2027. I am supervised by Prof. Kui Jiang (江奎) in the AIIA Lab. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from South China University of Technology.

My research interests lie in multimodal generation and understanding, world models, spatial intelligence, and low-level vision, with the long-term goal of building spatially intelligent systems that perceive, understand, and generate consistent 3D/4D scenes for embodied AI.
