About me

Shenghan Zhou

MSE Student in Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University

I work at the intersection of computer vision, generative models, and 3D understanding. I’m currently interested in vision-language-action models (VLA) and embodied AI—building intelligent agents that can perceive, reason, and act in the physical world.

Research interests
  • VLA
  • Embodied AI
  • Computer Vision
  • Generative AI
