Chang Won (John) Lee

Hi there! I'm a 2nd-year PhD student at the University of Toronto, advised by Professor Steven Waslander in the Toronto Robotics and AI Lab. I am affiliated with University of Toronto Robotics Institute and Vector Institute. I obtained my Master's and Bachelor's degrees from the University of Toronto, with a Bachelor's in Engineering Science (Machine Intelligence major).

My research focuses on generalist robots that can follow open-ended instructions reliably in open-world settings. I am interested in task decomposition and reasoning, long-horizon embodied task planning, agent orchestration, generalist vision-language-action (VLA) policies, and learning from experience (continual and incremental learning). Previously, I worked on uncertainty quantification, multi-object tracking, and visual anomaly detection for autonomous driving and space robotics.
