Summary
Anjali Pemmaraju is a software engineer at Zoox with a decade of experience building autonomy and robotics software, grounded in a MS in Robotic Systems Development from Carnegie Mellon and a CS BS from UCLA. She has shipped planner and driving-algorithm work at Zoox and contributed to real-world robotics projects ranging from cooperative surgical arms and AR tumor localization to CubeSat command-and-data systems. Her background spans C++, Python, perception and mapping algorithms, and full-stack prototypes for autonomy and security applications, reflecting a blend of research rigor and production engineering. Notably, she led a multidisciplinary capstone to localize tumors in real time using camera and laser data—demonstrating an aptitude for translating advanced SLAM and modeling research into applied systems that reduce operator cognitive load. Based in Pittsburgh, she pairs academic teaching experience with industry impact, often bridging algorithm development and system integration.
