Jiajun Wu

Jiajun Wu is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and, by courtesy, of Psychology at Stanford University. His research spans computer vision, machine learning, robotics and computational cognitive science. He develops AI systems that learn to perceive, reason about and interact with the physical world. Drawing inspiration from human cognition, his work connects deep learning with models of objects, scenes and physics. His research explores multimodal perception, physical dynamics and the use of learned models for planning and control. Before joining Stanford, he was a Visiting Faculty Researcher at Google Research. He received his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His honours include the IJCAI Computers and Thought Award, an NSF CAREER Award and recognition among IEEE’s AI’s 10 to Watch.
