I am a computer vision engineer with 5 years of experience in vision-based deep learning for real-world robotic manipulation and autonomous machine operation. I specialize in developing novel techniques for complex robotic manipulation and real-time object detection in dynamic environments.
I completed my MSc in Computer Science from the University of Toronto (2018-2020), where I researched machine learning with applications in computational genomics. From 2020 to 2022, I worked at DeepX, Inc., developing vision-based deep learning for scene comprehension in complex environments. Currently, at Sony Research since 2022, I focus on vision-based deep learning for deformable object manipulation.
My general interests include:
- 2D/3D Object Recognition: Enabling machines to accurately identify and localize objects in their environment.
- 6-DoF Pose Estimation: Determining an object's precise position and orientation in 3D space.
- Vision-Based Deep Learning for Robotics: Developing intelligent vision systems that allow robots to perceive and interact with the real world.
- Vision-Language Models: Exploring the powerful synergy between visual perception and natural language understanding.
