Liang Junwei

Liang Junwei currently serves as an assistant professor, associate researcher, and doctoral supervisor in the Artificial Intelligence Thrust at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou).

He earned his PhD in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University in 2021. Throughout his career, he has been honored with prestigious awards such as the Baidu Scholarship (awarded to only 10 recipients worldwide), the Yahoo Scholarship, and the "Rising Star" award at the 2020 World Artificial Intelligence Conference. His research centers on computer vision and embodied artificial intelligence.

Embodied Artificial Intelligence (EAI), a cutting-edge area of AI, was included in the Chinese government work report for the first time in 2025. As a pragmatic researcher, Liang has focused on general-purpose service embodied intelligent robots. In recent years, he has published a series of adaptation paradigms for robot operations based on human video pre-training, along with methods for robot tasks guided by natural language instructions, helping to bridge the gap between technology and application in embodied intelligence.

At the same time, Liang is a young educator on social media platforms. He is passionate about sharing knowledge and provides detailed guidance on topics from "How to Deploy the DeepSeek-R1 Model Locally" to lab setup tutorials and academic advice. Through his open approach to sharing knowledge, he brings new energy to the scientific research community.
