Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLin Sun is a technology leader with a decade of experience building advanced perception and AI systems, currently directing XR technology and AI innovation at Qualcomm while teaching as an adjunct professor in Mountain View. He has led multidisciplinary teams to ship hand tracking, object recognition, NeRF and generative-model research for Magic Leap and has driven state-of-the-art lidar perception and motion prediction at Samsung, earning top rankings on KITTI and NuScenes. His background spans deep learning research in academia and industry—PhD-level work on recurrent nets and vision at Stanford and HKUST—combined with product deployments from mobile photo tagging to large-scale retrieval services. Lin blends research rigor (multiple patents and challenge wins) with product sensibility, routinely translating cutting-edge models into real-time, resource-constrained systems. Colleagues describe him as equally at home in sensor selection and inference optimization as in defining XR product strategy. An NLP researcher by training, he brings cross-modal expertise that helps bridge language, 2D/3D perception and immersive experiences.
