Wenqi Jia

Hey! 😊

I am a first-year PhD student in Computer Science at the Georgia Institute of Technology (GaTech), working with Prof. James Rehg and co-advised by Prof. Danfei Xu. I received my B.Eng from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, majoring in Electronic and Information Engineering. I was working in Signal Processing Lab with Prof. Kin-Man Lam as an undergraduate research assistant since my sophomore year.

Research

My research interests lie in Computer Vision and Machine Learning. I’m particularly interested in hand-object interaction under the First-Person perspective and aim to leverage Egocentric Vision to model daily activities and social behaviors to help understand the interaction between humans and their surrounding world.

Fun facts about me!
  • Obviously I love travelling around the world: πŸ±β€πŸš€


  • I'm Chinese and if you wonder what's the correct pronunciation of my name (with the tones!), try to say the brand "Givenchy"in British accent 🀣
  • I play the piano 🎹 & very into classical music
  • I love Renaissance art and Surrealism! During the pandemic I was admitted as a Master of Arts in Art History at the University of Hong Kong (but didn't enrol cause I decided to be focused on my passion in Computer Science first πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»)
  • I learned my Japanese through Anime (NARUTO is my favorite πŸ”₯)
