Jingsong Jason Liang
Ph.D. Student at Nanyang Technological University
Jingsong Liang is a first-year PhD student in Robotics and AI at Nanyang Technological University, supervised by Prof. Chen Lv, Prof. Wanhua Li, and Prof. Yoonchang Sung. He is a recipient of the IGP Artificial Intelligence-X Scholarship.
His research centers on Multimodal Embodied Generalist Agents (MEGA), aiming to build general-purpose agents that integrate multimodal perception, embodied reasoning, autonomous planning, and continual self-improvement in the physical world. He also works closely with Sharpa on visual-tactile manipulation.
He received his M.S. degree in Computer Science from the School of Computing, National University of Singapore, advised by Prof. Guillaume Sartoretti and Prof. Rodney Teo, and his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Northeastern University.
