Hyung Chi is an AI research engineer and PhD candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue, specializing in representation learning for human actions and 3D computer vision with applications in VR/AR and autonomous systems. With eight years of experience spanning academia, industry research labs, and startup leadership, he has shipped action-recognition models for surveillance, conducted multi-modal perception work for Siri at Apple, and now builds on-device LLM capabilities for AR at Meta. His profile blends deep theoretical research—grounded in Purdue’s Convergence Design Lab—with hands-on deployment experience at Toyota and Honda Research Institutes and a seed-funded startup he co-founded. Based in Cupertino, Hyung is comfortable moving models from prototypical 3D and motion representations into constrained, real-world devices, an uncommon bridge between cutting-edge research and production on-device AI.
