Senior🎓
Top SchoolTianwei Shen is a Staff Software Engineer and research scientist with 12 years of experience building physical AI systems that fuse 3D perception, vision-language understanding, and embodied reasoning for robotic applications. With a PhD-focused background in large-scale 3D reconstruction and a track record at Meta Reality Labs and a Hong Kong startup, he bridges cutting-edge research—NeRF-based localization, privacy-preserving descriptors, and learning-based SLAM—with production sim-to-real pipelines. Now at NVIDIA on robotics, he designs egocentric foundation models and data engines that turn multimodal perception into actionable machine intelligence. Beyond publications visible on Google Scholar, he has repeatedly moved academic ideas into city-scale and robotic systems, combining deep technical rigor with applied system-building.
