Hi, my name is Billy Yan (中文名：严一博). I am currently a senior undergraduate working with Prof. Lerrel Pinto at the NYU CILVR Group. My research interests lie in imitation learning, computer vision, and world models. Recently, I have been focusing on learning general robot policies from human demonstrations—addressing challenges from "motor" to "model".

Previously, I worked with Dr. Al Olsen on developing VR games for educational applications under the supervision of Prof. Jan L. Plass at the CREATE Lab.
