Wuao Liu (刘武傲)

I am a Computer Science Ph.D. student working in the Computer Vision Lab at UMass Amherst, advised by Prof. Grant Van Horn. Previously, I received my M.S. and B.Eng. degrees in Robotics from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and Zhejiang University, respectively.

My research leverages computer vision and machine learning for applications in AI4Science. I currently focus on visual and auditory recognition of fine-grained categories, such as wildlife species, to support biodiversity monitoring and conservation efforts.

I'm actively looking for PhD internship positions during summer 2026. Please feel free to contact me!

Work Experience

Selected Publications

Using a vision-inspired approach, we tackle the novel challenge of predicting the geographic location of audio recordings by leveraging species sounds and multimodal retrieval techniques.

We study how well LLMs can complete a sequence of steps to achieve a certain goal, such as making a sandwich or repairing a bicycle tire.
