I am the Co-Founder and CTO at Atmanity where we are building new technologies to bring AI to life. Stay tuned for the official launch in 2025!
Biography
I was the AI/ML Tech Lead Manager at Google, working on edge AI for perception and scene understanding. Before this, I was the Director of AI at Phiar (acquired by Google) leading the team to improve real-world AR navigation in vehicles, and a senior researcher at NEC Laboratories America working with Prof. Manmohan Chandraker on fundamental computer vision/deep learning research.
I received my Ph.D in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at University of California, Merced in 2017 advised by Prof. Ming-Hsuan Yang in the Vision and Learning Lab. Before coming to UC Merced in 2012, I received my M.S. degree in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2012, and my B.S. degree in the Department of Electronics Engineering from National Chiao-Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan in 2009.
