Zhijian Yang

I'm currently a senior research scientist at Samsung Research, AI Center New York. I received my PhD from CS at UIUC in 2023, working with Professor Romit Roy Choudhury.

My current research interest is in mobile computing, especially in localization, multimodal sensing, and sensor fusion for mobile, wearable, and IoT devices.

Previously, I received my bachelor's degree with honor from Tsinghua University in 2018.

I interned at Meta Reality Labs, XR insight / spatial AI team in 2022, focusing on localization and tracking for AR/VR.
