Hi! I’m Haochen and I’m a second year Master’s of Science in Robotics student at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. I conduct research as part of the Field Robotics Center under the supervision of Dr. Ji Zhang and Dr. Wenshan Wang. My main research interests are in 3D semantic scene understanding, vision-language navigation, and interactive navigation agents.

Previously, I obtained my BASc in Engineering Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto. I completed my undergrad thesis under Dr. Scott Sanner in natural language preference retrieval at the Data-Driven Decision Making (D3M) Lab. I also obtained a Minor in Artificial Intelligence and Certificate in Engineering Leadership, graduating with high distinction.
