Dr. Chuang Yu （于 闯）
Co-founder of Talk on MLLM (Multimodal Large Language Model)
2023.4-Now
Research Fellow on Affective Interaction with AI with Prof. Nadia Berthouze at UCL Interaction Centre (UCLIC).
2021.8-2023.3:
Research Associate on Trustworthy/Cognitive Robotics and AI at Prof. Angelo Cangelosi's Lab-Cognitive Robotics Lab (COROLAB) of the University of Manchester on project UKRI TAS Node in Trust (funding).
As a Co-Investigator, I also work on UKRI TAS Integrated Project - Verifiably Human-Centric Robot Assisted Dressing.
2017.9-2021.6:
I received my Ph.D. degree at ASR Group (Autonomous Systems and Robotics) of U2IS, ENSTA-Paris, IP-Paris (Institut Polytechnique de Paris) supervised by Prof. Adriana Tapus. My past works in Paris are mainly about multimodal human behavior understanding and robot behaviors synthesis with deep learning.
Focus: Affective AI, Cognitive-Social Robotics, Artificial ToM, Mutimodal LLM.
