About Me
I am a CTO and Co-Founder at Retrocausal, Inc., a Seattle-based startup building Live Task Guidance for Manufacturing Assembly (Techstars Seattle 2020).
I was a Research Staff Member at NEC Laboratories America, Inc. in San Jose, CA from April 2015 to January 2020, working with Manmohan Chandraker on 3D Scene Understanding with applications in Advanced Driver-Assistance System and Dashcam Video Analysis. Before that, I received my PhD degree in Computer Vision from the University of Adelaide, Australia under the supervision of Tat-Jun Chin and David Suter in December 2014.
