Summary
Qihang Li is a robotics researcher and soon-to-be PhD student with four years of hands-on experience in 3D computer vision, SLAM, and spatial AI, blending academic rigor from Johns Hopkins and University at Buffalo with applied projects in medical imaging and robot learning. He has contributed to robot perception, mapping, localization, and scene understanding while building datasets and end-to-end ML/DL pipelines for navigation and autonomous systems. Comfortable in both research labs and teaching roles, he has supported courses in statistical learning and taken on interdisciplinary work from RRAM device simulation to surgical imaging. Based in the Raleigh-Durham area, Qihang combines systems-level thinking with low-level implementation skills, and his GitHub quip—“OK, computer. I want full manual control now.”—hints at a pragmatic, control-oriented approach to autonomy.
