Yinghua Zhou

Welcome! I am currently a CS master's student at Brown University.

I am interested in Embodied Intelligence, particularly large foundation models for generalist robot learning.

Prior to Brown, I completed my B.S. in Computer Science at Monash University and received my (first class) Honours degree in Computer Science from The University of Sydney.

💡 I am actively looking for research collaborations. Please feel free to drop me an email if interested, or just to say hi! 👋

Goal Force specifies visual goals for video world models via explicit force vectors; trained only on synthetic causal primitives, it generalizes zero-shot to real-world scenes as an implicit neural physics simulator.
