Bangpeng Yao (姚邦鹏)

Short Bio     [Full CV]

I am currently a 4th year PhD student in the Computer Science Department of Stanford University, advised by Fei-Fei Li. My research interests are in computer vision and applied machine learning. I am a Microsoft Research PhD Fellow and a Stanford Graduate Fellow.

I received a BE degree with honors from the Automation Department, and a ME degree with honors from the Department of Computer Science and Technology of Tsinghua University. I was a research intern in Microsoft Resarch Cambridge and Willow Garage Inc.
