Stephen Cheng

I am a fourth-year BS/MS student at Northwestern University in the MAGICS lab advised by Prof. Han Liu. I am interested in embodied AI, the idea of imparting intelligence on physical systems. My current research interests include vision language action models, representation learning, and more recently, mechanistic interpretability.
