Kaichen He (何凯辰)
I am a Ph.D. student in the School of Intelligence Science and Technology at Peking University. Since March 2026, I have been advised by Prof. Yiwu Zhong; before that, I was advised by Prof. Yitao Liang. My research focuses on multi-modal reinforcement learning, embodied AI, and agentic models for Minecraft and other interactive environments.
Before joining Peking University, I received my B.E. from the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences (IIIS), Tsinghua University. I have also worked as a research intern with Prof. Zhiyuan Liu’s group at Tsinghua University and as a summer researcher at the University of Washington with Prof. Sheng Wang.
