Weitai Kang

I am currently a third-year Ph.D. student with Prof. Yan Yan in Computer Science at University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). My research focuses on Multimodal Learning, particularly for Large Multimodal Models and Visual Grounding.

I will be a Research Intern at Adobe, working on Large Multimodal Models. Previously, I was a Research Intern at SonyAI, working toward Large Multimodal Models. Before that, I was a Visiting Scholar at University of Central Florida (UCF), working with Prof. Mubarak Shah toward 3D Visual Grounding and 3D Large Language Models topic. Before Ph.D., I earned my bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Sun Yat-sen University in 2022.
