Experience

  1. Deep Learning Engineer

    DaoAI Robotics
    • DaoAI needed specialized tools to determine 3D positions of objects on conveyer belts using stereo cameras, and to estimate their 6D poses, so that a manufacturing robot can be guided to the correct 3D space with the ”hands” in the correct orientation to grab the object.
    • I re-implemented well-known stereo matching and object pose estimation methods. I collected datasets, fine-tuned the machine learning models, and re-created state-of-the-art results from the respective publications. The tools used were Python, OpenCV, Open3D, and PyTorch.
    • These essential tools could then be offered to clients as needed, helping speed up and automate more of the manufacturing processes.

  2. Teaching Assistant

    Simon Fraser University
    • TA for CMPT115: Exploring Computer Science. (Summer 2022 & Summer 2021)
    • TA for CMPT125: Introduction to Computing Science and Programming II. (Spring 2022 & Summer 2020)
    • TA for CMPT120: Introduction to Computing Science and Programming I. (Summer 2020)

  3. Undergraduate Research Fellow

    University of Hong Kong
    • Conducted research in Computer Vision as part of a prestigious programme (Undergraduate Research Fellowship Programme) at HKU.
    • Research topic: “Matting Colored Transparent Objects from a Single Image Using Deep Learning.” (Paper on arxiv and on my homepage)
    • Won the best Final Year Project award.
