Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHeng Yang is a founder and AI/Computer Vision expert with over 18 years bridging academic research and industry impact, currently leading AiMall from Cambridge. He holds a PhD-level research background with stints at NUDT, Queen Mary, ANU/NICTA collaborations and Cambridge, and publications in top venues like CVPR, ICCV and NeurIPS. As former CTO of ULSee and now CEO, he has taken research prototypes—spanning autonomous driving, satellite rendezvous, 3D human reconstruction, AR face tracking, and vision-language models—into products used by millions and hundreds of enterprises. He combines deep technical rigor with product-first execution, focusing on solutions that marry scientific novelty to measurable business value. Less obvious: his career shows an early and recurring pattern of working on high-risk, long-horizon vision problems (e.g., satellite docking, early metaverse reconstruction) that later became mainstream commercial opportunities. He also maintains academic ties as an adjunct professor across Chinese universities, keeping a foot in both research and deployment.
