Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Zhou is a PhD candidate in autonomous driving and co-founder/Chief Engineer at Anyware Robotics, bringing 11 years of engineering experience that blend academic rigor with hands-on product delivery. He has led robotics and quality-engineering efforts across automotive and research settings—designing high-precision manufacturing feeders at BMW, investigating vehicle systems at Porsche, and publishing biomechanical robotics work from Georgia Tech. At Anyware he applies AI-powered mobile robotics to real-world logistics problems, while his UC Berkeley research sharpens the autonomy and control foundations behind those products. A practical front-end contributor to open-source projects like Buttercup, he pairs low-level UI improvements (password generation, strength feedback, animations) with system-level thinking. Fluent in cross-cultural contexts and with extracurricular interests in East Asian studies and railway culture, he seeks part-time roles in innovative autonomous driving teams.
