Yanbo Wang

I'm a PhD Candidate at TU Delft in the Netherlands, supervised by Prof. Justin Dauwels and Prof. Geert Leus. I received my master's degree from George Mason University in the U.S., honored with Outstanding Academic Achievement Award. I was a Best Student Paper Finalist at Asilomar 2020.

Research

I am interested in generative models, object-centric learning, and compositional modeling, with focus on generalization to novel settings beyond training data. The applications include visual content generation, scene understanding, physical reasoning, and robotic manipulation.
