Biography

I am a Perception Software Engineer at Waymo LLC, Mountain View, CA. As a senior software engineer, tech lead at Waymo, I am working on ML based object detection, classification, tracking and multi-sensor fusion with Lidar, Radar and Camera.

I received my PhD at December 2018 at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park, MD, advised by Prof. Larry S. Davis. I received my Master's degree from the Computer Science Department of Columbia University, New York, NY, working with Prof. Shih-Fu Chang. Before that, I graduated from School of Information Science and Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing in 2013.
