Junjiao

Hi, I am Junjiao Tian!

I am a research scientist at Meta GenAI. I earned my PhD from the Robotics Perception and Learning Lab (RIPL) at Georgia Tech, advised by Prof. Zsolt Kira. I also contributed to the Bot Intelligence Group (BIG) at Carnegie Mellon University under Prof. Jean Oh. My research focuses on algorithmic methods to enhance the robustness of deep learning models.
