About Me

I’m Yangzhe Kong, a Computer Science Ph.D. student at George Mason University with a passion for machine learning, robotics, and AI. My journey in tech has taken me from Tongji University in China to Aalto University in Finland, and now to the US, with valuable industry experience at companies like Huawei and Nokia Bell Labs along the way. My research focuses on enhancing robot social navigation through multi-modal learning, combining my expertise in trajectory prediction, computer vision, and natural language processing. I’m always excited to tackle complex problems and push the boundaries of what’s possible in AI and robotics.
