Summary
Sanket Gujar is a Perception Software Engineer with a decade of experience developing real-time 3D perception systems for autonomous vehicles, currently contributing to Aurora after roles at AWS, Sense Photonics, and Innovusion. He holds an MS in Computer Science from WPI (4.0) where his thesis introduced a novel neural architecture for edge-aware pointwise and instance segmentation on LiDAR point clouds, and has hands-on experience reducing model size and inference time for deployment. His background combines research (inverse reinforcement learning), production engineering (AWS IoT FleetWise), and applied perception work from internships at Luminar to shipping vehicle detection models with sub-10ms inference. A Udacity SDC alumnus and hackathon winner with top-100 Kaggle placement, he pairs practical systems engineering with deep learning curiosity, often focusing on transfer and imitation learning to bridge research and deployed autonomy.
