Summary
Will Liang is a PhD student and graduate researcher at UC Berkeley specializing in robot learning, generative models, and multimodal representations for embodied agents. With eight years of experience spanning university labs and industry internships at NVIDIA, Hudson River Trading, and Anduril, he blends rigorous research with systems-oriented engineering. At Berkeley's BAIR and previously at UPenn's GRASP lab, he focuses on agents that learn from human priors and unstructured, self-directed experience, and at NVIDIA he contributes to foundational world models for robotics. His background in optimizing ML training and time-series ingestion gives him a practical edge in turning learned representations into deployable systems. Based in Berkeley, he pairs deep academic training in EECS with hands-on production experience across research and high-throughput engineering environments.
