Jinheng Xie is a PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at NUS and a researcher with seven years of experience applying machine learning to real-world problems. Currently a student researcher at Google DeepMind/Google in Singapore, he brings hands-on research experience from a multi-year research internship at Tencent. His technical work spans deep learning for vision and sequence tasks, including contributions to a CRNN-based Chinese character recognition repository where he improved preprocessing, data loading, and training pipelines to boost model robustness. Comfortable bridging research and engineering, he debugs demos and integrates configuration-driven training—skills that help move prototypes toward reproducible experiments. Fluent in both academic and industry research settings, he combines rigorous PhD-level inquiry with practical systems engineering.
