Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJingdao Chen is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Mississippi State University with 12 years of experience building robotics and spatial-AI systems that turn sensor data into rich, semantically informed 3D scene representations. His research bridges machine learning, computer vision, and model-based inference to enable applications from autonomous driving to construction automation and disaster relief. Trained with an MS in Computer Science and a PhD in Robotics from Georgia Tech and a foundational EE background from Washington University, he combines rigorous theory with hands-on systems work, including industry internships at Facebook and autonomous vehicle projects. Notably, his lab leverages databases of known object models to infer unseen scene structure, a practical twist that accelerates real-world deployment of perception systems. Based in Starkville, MS, he balances teaching and research while translating large-scale sensing and modeling advances into deployable robotic capabilities.
