Mingda Jia

Hi, I'm Mingda, currently a PhD student at MMLab, The University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Xihui Liu. Previously, I obtained my Master's degree from PKU, supervised by Prof. Ge Li.
I am also an intern at ACE Robots (大晓无限). Previously, I enjoyed a wonderful time working as a research assistant at Shanghai AI Lab, advised by Dr. Xudong Xu and Jiangmiao Pang. I also interned at Alibaba Tongyi Wan Team, advised by Dr. Liming Zhao.

My research interests lie in Embodied AI and Agentic AI.

My research focuses on developing human-centric intelligence that internalizes human cognitive and behavioral patterns to eventually transcend our limitations. Ultimately, I aim to dedicate this advanced intelligence to prioritizing human well-being.
