Alex N. Wang

I’m a PhD candidate at NYU CILVR, advised by Pavel Izmailov and collaborating with Yutong Bai and Amir Bar.

I’m interested in vision, representations, world models and planning. Specifically:

• Improving world model efficiency, consistency, and structure.
• Using search to improve high-dimensional and long-horizon planning.
• Learning from minimally curated, scalable video data.

I received my Master’s working with Richard Zemel and my BASc in Engineering Science (Robotics), both from the University of Toronto. My work is supported by NSERC PGS-D.

Feel free to email me at anw2067 [at] nyu.edu, and download my CV here.

I also love to eat, cook, drink coffee (ultralights; pourover, soup), and more recently, drink wine.
