Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNing Xu is an experienced engineer with six years focused on image processing, computer vision, and AR technologies, now applying that expertise to autonomous driving at NVIDIA. Previously a Principal Software Engineer Lead at Microsoft, Ning led the Azure Object Anchors SDK for HoloLens, enabling automatic alignment of 3D content to physical objects and driving commercial mixed-reality scenarios. His background spans object detection and 6-DoF pose estimation, gaze and eye-tracking systems, and camera calibration—skills grounded in a master’s in Control Theory from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Ning has a long tenure at Microsoft across product incubation and production engineering, shipping research-driven features like face and video tooling that bridged prototypes to customer-ready services. He brings a blend of research-level algorithmic depth and pragmatic product delivery, comfortable moving between low-level camera calibration and cloud-connected AR SDKs. Based in Redmond, he combines systems thinking with hands-on implementation, often tackling the less visible but critical problems that make perception robust in real-world deployments.
