Justin Liang is a Staff Research Scientist with 11 years of experience building perception and autonomy research at leading self-driving companies, currently advancing work at Waabi after a multi-role tenure there and at Uber ATG. He combines a strong academic foundation—a Master's in Computer Science from University of Toronto and a Mechatronics B.A.Sc. from UBC—with hands-on systems and controls experience dating back to robotics and embedded projects. Justin’s career shows progressive research leadership in production-focused autonomy, shipping algorithms that bridge simulation and on-vehicle systems across Toronto and Vancouver teams. Beyond research, his early work in controls engineering and mechatronics gives him an unusual depth in both low-level systems and high-level learning pipelines.
