Yang Fu

I will join the NVIDIA Cosmos team as a Research Scientist in June 2026, building large-scale world foundation models for Physical AI.

I am wrapping up my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC San Diego , where I have the opportunity to work with Prof. Xiaolong Wang. During my Ph.D., I was fortunate to receive the Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship (2023). Before that, I obtained my M.S. in ECE at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Thomas S. Huang and Prof. Humphrey Shi.
