Bio
|
I am a Research Scientist at Waymo (formerly the Google self-driving car project). I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech, working with Prof. Jia-Bin Huang. Before that, I have worked with Prof. Honglak Lee, Yuting Zhang and Ruben Villegas during my masters at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and Prof. Xiaojin Gong during my undergrad at Zhejiang University. Over the summers, I am fortunate to have the opportunities to work with Wei-Chih (Wayne) Hung (Waymo Research), Jyh-Jing Hwang (Waymo Research), Zizhao Zhang (Google Cloud AI), Han Zhang (Google Brain), Chun-Liang Li (Google Cloud AI), Xiao Bian (Google Cloud AI), Pan Ji (NEC Labs), Quoc-Huy Tran (NEC Labs), Prof. Manmohan Chandraker (NEC Labs & UCSD), Jimei Yang (Adobe Research), Duygu Ceylan (Adobe Research), Jianming Zhang (Adobe Research), and Federico Perazzi (Adobe Research). My CV is available here (last updated on Oct. 2022). |
