Jad Abou-Chakra

Jad Abou-Chakra is a PhD student at the Queensland University of Technology, specializing in structured world models for robotic manipulation. His current research focuses on building rich, interpretable representations that enable robots to perceive, reason, and act in dynamic environments. By combining insights from differentiable rendering, imitation learning, and physical simulation, he develops systems that tightly couple perception and control. His work aims to advance generalizable, real-time robotic manipulation.
