Mingda Jia

Hi, I'm Mingda, an incoming PhD student at MMLab@HKU, supervised by Prof. Xihui Liu. Previously, I obtained my Master's degree from PKU, supervised by Prof. Ge Li.
I am now working as a research assistant at Shanghai AI Lab, advised by Dr. Xudong Xu and Jiangmiao Pang. I also spent wonderful time at Alibaba Tongyi Wan Team, advised by Dr. Liming Zhao.

My research interests lie in Embodied AI, World Models and Representation Learning.

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.
