Yunze Man

Ph.D Candidate

Computer Science Department

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

I am a Ph.D student in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I am advised by Yuxiong Wang and Liangyan Gui. My research interests lie in Multi-modal Learning, 3D Vision, and Robotics.

Before coming to UIUC, I received a M.S. in Robotics at Carnegie Mellon University, where I was advised by Kris Kitani. I received a B.S. in Computer Science from Zhejiang University.
