Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoseph Menke is a graduate student researcher and electrical engineering/software practitioner with 12 years of experience building perception and localization systems, currently developing smartphone-based indoor positioning and tracking at UC Berkeley’s Video and Image Processing Lab. His background spans industry research and internships—including Microsoft Research and a stealth startup—where he worked on augmented reality and applied software engineering for spatial computing. As an undergraduate he built production-capable vehicle telematics and LIDAR-based tracking systems, gaining hands-on expertise with embedded ARM platforms, CAN/OBDII data, and sensor fusion. Pursuing a PhD in EECS at Berkeley, he combines rigorous research with practical deployment experience and a persistent interest in bringing indoor navigation from prototype to real-world venues like malls and convention centers. An early-career detail that sets him apart: he pairs high-level algorithm work with low-level hardware skills such as SMD soldering and over-the-air device reprogramming.
