Tao Tang (唐涛)

I am an incoming World Model Engineer at Yinwang. I will receive my Ph.D. from Sun Yat-sen University in June 2026. During my doctoral studies, I was a member of the HCP-Lab, under the supervision of Professor Xiaodan Liang. Prior to my Ph.D., I obtained my B.Eng. degree from the School of Software at Dalian University of Technology.

  • Research Interests: My research primarily focuses on Autonomous Driving and Embodied AI. Currently, I am mainly concentrated on World Models, while also being involved in research related to VLA and RL training.

  • I’m always looking for related colaboration. If you are interested to chat with me, feel free to contact me 📧 Email: trent.tangtao@gmail.com 📱 Phone & Wechat: 15755623037.
