About Me

I am a VLA Research Team Lead at AIRoA, where I focus on building robust and generalized vision-language-action models. I obtained my Ph.D. degree at UC San Diego in the CSE department under the supervision of Xiaolong Wang. Previously, I was a Research Scientist at NVIDIA Research and a Student Researcher at Google DeepMind, hosted by Kuang-Huei Lee. In the past, I've also worked with Hao Su at UCSD and Masashi Sugiyama at RIKEN-AIP.

I received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering and a M.S. in Computer Science from National Taiwan University. My research interests lie in the fields of reinforcement learning, robotics, and computer vision. Specifically, I am devoted to developing innovative methods for real-world applications. My primary focus is on building robust and generalized vision-language-action models for embodied AI.

Please see my CV for more information. If you would like to know more about my research, please contact me via email, kris.wu [at] airoa.org.
