About

Yan Xu is a researcher passionate about advancing spatial-aware intelligence—enabling machines to perceive, understand, and interact intelligently with the 3D world. As a Postdoctoral Researcher in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, he works with Prof. Stella X. Yu on combining 3D perception, generative models, and robotics to push the frontier of intelligent systems. He earned his Ph.D. from the Multimedia Laboratory at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Hongsheng Li and Prof. Xiaogang Wang. Prior to that, he conducted research at the State Key Lab of CAD&CG, Zhejiang University, under the guidance of Prof. Guofeng Zhang and Prof. Hujun Bao. His research has been published in ICCV, CVPR, ECCV, NeurIPS and TPAMI, and is cited by leading academic and industrial labs worldwide.

Dr. Xu's long-term vision is to push forward spatial-aware intelligence, bridging 3D scene understanding with intelligent decision-making to create more capable and context-aware machines.
