Yufei (Judy) Ye 叶雨菲
I am a Postdoc in The Movement Lab (TML) at Stanford, working with Karen Liu.
I obtained my PhD degree from Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Shubham Tulsiani and Abhinav Gupta.
In general, I am interested in understanding the physical world from sensors (e.g. images/videos, wearable devices), especially how human interact with their surroudings in everyday life
-- how to accurately perceive the interaction, how to discover patterns of interaction, how to actively interact with the world.
Prior to CMU, I recieved my B.S. in Computer Science from Tsinghua Universtiy where I worked with Shi-Min Hu, Yankui Sun.
I have also spent great summers at NVIDIA LPR with Sifei Liu and Xueting Li, FAIR with Kris Kitani, and MPI-PS with Michael Black.
