Senior🎓
Top SchoolWeisong Wen is an Assistant Professor at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University specializing in GNSS, LiDAR SLAM, and robust navigation for robotic and autonomous driving systems, with nine years of experience spanning academia and industry. He earned his PhD from PolyU after a visiting research stint at UC Berkeley and has published extensively (30 SCI and 40 conference papers) on NLOS/multipath mitigation and urban-canyon positioning. His research produced a 3D LiDAR-aided GNSS method that won multiple awards, attracted industry uptake, and was featured in trade media, demonstrating real-world impact beyond academia. Practically minded from early roles in autonomous-driving positioning and robotics perception, he combines rigorous theoretic work with hands-on algorithm transfer to industry.
