Jianbiao Mei

I received my Ph.D. in June 2026 from the Department of Control Science and Engineering at Zhejiang University, advised by Prof. Yong Liu at the APRIL Lab. Before that, I received my B.Eng. in June 2021 from the same department with an honors degree at Chu Kochen Honors College.

I am currently a researcher at Shanghai AI Laboratory, where I study AI agents and their applications to autonomous scientific discovery. My research interests span self-evolving agents, post-training, and agentic world modeling, informed by my prior work in foundational computer vision, including 3D scene understanding, as well as video understanding and generation. More broadly, I aim to develop intelligent systems that understand the world, learn proactively through interaction, and continually improve over time. I view these capabilities as essential for building agents that can advance scientific discovery, including AI research itself.
