Professional Summary

I am a robotics researcher working at the intersection of state estimation, perception, and sensor fusion. My research advances scene understanding to enable robust and safe autonomy in complex environments. I envision autonomous agents that complement human capabilities through safe and trustworthy collaboration.

Experience

  • Aug 2025 - present

    Monrovia, CA, US

    Sr. Perception Engineer
    SiLC Technologies
    I develop advanced perception algorithms for FMCW LiDAR, enabling accurate dimension estimation in industrial settings and high-fidelity simulation of LiDAR system behavior.
  • Mar 2024 - Jun 2025

    Boston, MA, US

    Sr. Perception Engineer
    NODAR
    I built a 3D object detection benchmarking pipeline for stereo-camera system, allowing sensor configuration optimization for various on-road and off-road driving conditions.
  • Sep 2022 - Feb 2024

    Boston, MA, US

    Perception Engineer
    NODAR
    I architected a long-range object detection and tracking algorithm for autonomous driving, operating real-time on dense stereo-camera point clouds. Key result includes reliable detection of vehicle up to 500 meters range.
  • Jun 2021 - Aug 2021

    Plano, TX, US

    Research Intern
