My name is Jiayi Pan, and I will be joining UC Berkeley as a PhD student this Fall. My current research focuses on language grounding to vision and robotics.
I am about to finish my undergrad study in University of Michigan and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, where I am fortunate to have worked with Professors Joyce Chai, Dmitry Berenson, Fan Wu.
Outside of work, I love reading, arts, sports on water, implementing random ideas, playing/developing games, being connected with interesting people. Feel free to contact me and have fun via email :)

Back in my highschool days, I was really tired of and bored with all the naive coursework. Just for the fun of it, instead, I spent most of my time learning university-level physics and preparing for the CPhO.
This prize might not look big compared to others listed above, but it is exactly where my passion for science starts. After the “failure” in CPhO, I went on to prepare for the College Entrance Examination (GaoKao) and ranked top 0.1% in 2019.
Now as an AI researcher, I still constantly benefit from the training I had for CPhO. Not only for the domain-specific knowledge I learnt, but also on how to think in the first principle, how to approach, build intuition with, and understand complex systems, etc…
