Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFanfei Chen is a Senior Computer Vision Engineer with a Ph.D. in Robotics from Stevens Institute of Technology and eight years of experience building perception and ML systems for mobile robots and autonomous platforms. She has transitioned research-grade sim2real and graph-based deep RL methods into production perception stacks across startups in the San Francisco Bay Area, most recently leading computer vision at Ebots. Her work spans end-to-end vision pipelines—segmentation, inpainting, mapping and belief-space exploration—blending classical robotics with modern deep learning. At Stevens she developed zero-shot sim2real transfer and graph neural network policies for exploration, a research-to-product thread that recurs throughout her roles. Known for pragmatic problem-solving, she moves quickly from simulation and prototyping to robust field-deployable systems. Based in the Bay Area, she pairs academic rigor with hands-on engineering to solve perception challenges in complex, uncertain environments.
