Yanyuan Qiao

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow working with A.P. Qi Wu, at Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML), The University of Adelaide, where I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science, under the supervision of A.P. Qi Wu and Dr. Yuankai Qi. Before coming to Australia, I obtained my master degree from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, China in 2019 and bachelor degree from Southeast University, China in 2016.

My research interests lie broadly in the field of Vision-and-Language and Embodied AI, especially in Vision-and-Language Navigation.
