Summary
Junchao Wei is a Staff R&D Engineer based in Palo Alto with 11 years of experience applying computer vision, machine learning, and computational imaging to medical and industrial problems. He holds a Ph.D. from Auburn University and has driven R&D from academia to productization—shipping wound assessment and AI-OCR features and optimizing Edge-AI models for mobile deployment. His technical toolkit centers on Python, C++, and Java, with deep expertise in image registration, digital volume correlation, and 3D image analysis for soft tissues and X-ray micro-CT. At Konica Minolta he led multi-language text spotting and spelling-correction engines for unstructured document understanding on AWS, and now brings that product-focused rigor to Recor Medical. Colleagues value his blend of rigorous experimental research and pragmatic engineering that accelerates models from prototype to edge-ready systems. An understated strength is his experience bridging computational mechanics and ML, enabling novel solutions where imaging, biomechanics, and scalable inference intersect.
