Bowen Wen

I am a Senior Research Scientist at NVIDIA Research. My research areas include robotic perception, computer vision. Specifically, I work on 3D visual perception and learning to facilitate robotics or embodied AI. I obtained my PhD degree in Computer Science from Rutgers University in 2022, advised by Prof. Kostas Bekris. During my PhD, I've spent wonderful summers with Google[X], Facebook Reality Labs, Amazon Lab 126 and SenseTime working as a research intern. Previously, I obtained MS degree in ECE from Ohio State University in 2018 and BS degree in Energy and Automation from Xi'an Jiaotong University in 2016.
