Fu-En Yang
I am a Research Scientist at NVIDIA Research, pursuing research on Adaptive Physical Intelligence, focusing on developing efficient, adaptive AI systems for vision-language-action models (VLA), world modeling, embodied reasoning, and physical AI.
I received my Ph.D. from National Taiwan University (NTU) in Jul. 2023, supervised by Prof. Yu-Chiang Frank Wang. Previously, I was a research intern at NVIDIA Research (Feb. 2023-Aug. 2023), focusing on efficient model personalization and vision-language models. Also, I was a Ph.D. program researcher at ASUS AICS from Sep. 2020 to Oct. 2022, specializing in visual transfer learning.
Prior to my Ph.D., I received my Bachelor's degree from Department of Electrical Engineering at National Taiwan University in 2018.

Selected Publications
My research goal is to advance Adaptive Physical Intelligence Research, developing efficient, adaptive, and customized AI systems that seamlessly integrate perception, reasoning, and action in physical environments. I focus on vision-language-action models that enable intelligent agents to understand and interact with the world through multimodal reasoning, sophisticated world modeling for predictive understanding of dynamic environments, and embodied reasoning that bridges abstract cognition with physical reality. My work involves developing novel latent modeling approaches to capture the underlying structure of complex physical interactions, with applications spanning target robotics and physical AI systems. I am driven by the vision that AI should not merely process information, but should adaptively learn from and intelligently respond to the rich complexity of physical experience, ultimately creating more capable, personalized, and contextually aware artificial agents.
