Mia Tang
YGS 2018
Carnegie Mellon University + Stanford University
Computer science Ph.D. at Stanford working on generative AI for visual content creation
Mia arrived at Young Guns with an instinct for noticing what others missed. That instinct evolved into research. Now a Ph.D. candidate at Stanford, she works at the intersection of AI and visual creation, building systems that help people create what did not exist before. She has published across computer vision, graphics, and robotics. Her work reflects what she first explored at YGS: using art and design to make the world more visible.
“My time at YGS helped me develop a habit of observing the world more closely and using design to surface what often goes unnoticed.”
