Junfei Zhou

I am an M.S. student in Artificial Intelligence at Southwest Jiaotong University, advised by Prof. Penglin Dai. I received my B.S. in Big Data Management and Application from Chang'an University in 2024, where I was advised by Prof. Jianwu Fang.

My research focuses on automation for driving and embodied agents, 3D vision, and world models.

I am seeking research opportunities in automation (driving and embodied), and am available in mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, and Singapore. Feel free to reach me at jeffreychou777@gmail.com or jeffreychou@my.swjtu.edu.cn.
