Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThanh Vu is a CV/ML engineer with 11 years of experience and a strong research-to-production track record, currently building perception models for Mineral (an Alphabet company) to advance sustainable agriculture. He blends deep academic rigor from a PhD in Computer Vision at UNC Chapel Hill with hands-on systems work at Google X, Amazon, and Lenovo, delivering efficient edge-ready models across detection, segmentation, depth, and generative tasks. Between 2021–2023 he led four cross-organizational projects with Mineral and Google Brain, filed two patents, and authored research that emphasizes unsupervised domain adaptation, knowledge distillation, and multi-task learning for large-scale, resource-constrained deployments. Thanh is notable for turning novel CV research into production pipelines—owning data processing, model evaluation, and deployment—and for optimizing models for mobile and edge devices. He has practical AR and large-point-cloud visualization experience from earlier roles and a history of shipping user-impacting features at scale, such as a Kindle search enhancement during an Amazon internship.
