Arthur (Kefan) Chen
kefan_chen@brown.edu
I'm a Ph.D. candidate at Brown University, advised by Prof. Srinath Sridhar.
My research is dedicated to developing intelligent agents that learn dexterous skills from humans, aiming to simplify challenging tasks in our daily lives.
My areas of focus include Generative AI, digital humans, and embodied AI. Previously, I have held positions at Google, Meta, NVIDIA, Pinterest, and various startups, working as a researcher, Machine Learning Engineer, and research intern.
Before PhD, I had the honor to work with Dr. Ameesh Makadia and
Prof. Noah Snavely at Google Research, and Prof. Sanja Fidler at UofT.
