Hank Lin is a machine learning and computer vision researcher with 10 years of industry and academic experience, currently pursuing a PhD at MIT while working on traffic interaction modeling and non-line-of-sight imaging across the LIDS and Camera Culture groups. His work spans applied deep learning for autonomous vehicles—trajectory and intention prediction, 3D detection and tracking—and novel sensing approaches such as multi-bounce LiDAR for reflective scenes. He has delivered production-focused ML systems at companies like Lyft, Uber, Plus and Optimus Ride and contributed to AR/VR relocalization research at Google. Hank’s thesis centers on moving object detection and tracking in video, combining robotics SLAMMOT ideas with modern generative and imitation-learning methods to model vehicle-to-vehicle interaction. Based in Cambridge, MA, he blends rigorous academic research with hands-on engineering and a penchant for “fun” exploratory projects that bridge sensing, simulation, and realistic traffic behavior.
