Bowen Wen ![](/sites/default/files/person/Bowen.Wen_.jpg) I am a Senior Research Scientist at [NVIDIA Research](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/research/research-areas/). My research areas include robotic perception, computer vision. Specifically, I work on 3D visual perception and learning to facilitate robotic manipulations. I obtained my PhD degree in Computer Science from Rutgers University in 2022, advised by Prof. Kostas Bekris. During my PhD, I've spent wonderful summers with [Google\[X\]](https://x.company/), [Facebook Reality Labs](https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Ftech.fb.com%2Far-vr%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGsqyZqB8hSHF5DQo8i-dgECsIb2w), [Amazon Lab 126](https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FAmazon_Lab126&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNFahov2ghvN4ERAVf_8-LkJomzp8w) and [SenseTime](https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sensetime.com%2Fme-en&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEB2an64fqkUAL3MXUvX4OUHH5JXQ) working as a research intern. Previously, I obtained MS degree in ECE from Ohio State University in 2018 and BS degree in Energy and Automation from Xi'an Jiaotong University in 2016.
