Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSerena Zhang is a researcher and robotics software engineer with eight years of experience designing and shipping navigation, calibration, and kinematics modules for mobile construction and inspection robots. She has led cross-functional projects—from defining product strategy for delivery robots to implementing graph-optimization-based auto-calibration that cut calibration time by ~75%—using C++, Python, ROS, g2o, PCL and PyTorch. Now at UBC’s AOCL, she builds path-planning and control systems for quadrotor construction robots that automate inspections and safety monitoring on real job sites. Serena pairs deep academic training (PhD in Neuroscience) and a background in corporate development with hands-on robotics IP generation—co-inventor on multiple utility and design patents and author of six papers—bringing both scientific rigor and product-focused execution.
