Žiga
Žiga Kovačič ?
My name is of Slovenian origin.
Pronounced Zhee-guh Koh-VAH-chich.

I’m an incoming CS PhD student at Stanford, advised by Jiajun Wu and co-advised by Jiayuan Mao. I’m interested in hierarchical world models that learn the right level of physical abstraction for each task and co-evolve through interaction. I also have a deep interest in physical simulation.

Previously, I completed my undergrad at Cornell, where I was fortunate to work with Kevin Ellis, and was recognised as a Merrill Presidential Scholar.

See my Google Scholar for the most up-to-date publication list.
