Ziyun (Claude) Wang

I'm an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. I received my Ph.D. from the GRASP Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania, advised by Professor Kostas Daniilidis. I received my B.S. in Computer Science from Rice University and M.S.E in Robotics from Penn. Previously, I was a research intern at Samsung AI Center New York, where I worked with Professors Sebastian Seung, Daniel Lee, and Volkan Isler. I did my most recent internship at the Apple Vision Product team, working on the Vision Pro.

Research

My main research interests are event-based vision, 3D computer vision and robotics. In particular, I work on motion and scene understanding of highly dynamic scenes. My research projects range from fundamental geometry problems in event-based vision to applications of the event sensors in real robots.
