Wenbo (Gordon) Hu

whu at cs dot ucla dot edu

Hi! I am Wenbo. I'm a CS PhD student at University of California, Los Angeles advised by Prof. Kai-Wei Chang and Prof. Nanyun Peng. I also obtained my M.S. in CS from UCLA in 2024. Previously, I obtained my B.S. in Data Science at the Halicioglu Data Science Institute (HDSI) from University of California, San Diego in 2023. I'm fortunate to have worked with Prof. Zhuowen Tu and Prof. Hao Su during my undergraduate study.

My primary research interest lies in the intersection of vision, language, and agentic. Particularly, I have worked on 2D and 3D vision-language models (VLMs) in multimodal understanding, reasoning, reconstruction, generation and embodied tasks. My long-term research goal is to build intelligent systems that can perceive, understand and interact with the complex physical world.

My research interests include:
