Hello! I'm Willow, a computer vision (CV) engineer deeply passionate about the intersection of 3D CV, deep learning, and robotic systems.
I earned my PhD from Purdue University as a member of the Lab of Computer-Integrated Infrastructure Informatics (LCIII). My research focused on developing CV algorithms using in-flight vision sensors to enable robotic agents, such as unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), to perceive the complex environments and make better decisions.
Currently, I'm working as the R&D engineer at a Medicare tech startup based at University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK). Here, I develop 3D vision-based algorithms for AI-driven laparoscopic robots. These algorithms leverage multi-source pre-operative and intra-operative data to enhance spatial perception for surgeons and create patient-specific models during surgical operation.
Let's innovate together and shape the future of intelligent robotics! Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.
