Wenxuan Peng is a first-year PhD student in Computer Science at Cornell University with four years of hands-on research and engineering experience in computer vision and robustness. Previously a Robotics Institute Summer Scholar at CMU and an algorithm intern at NTU-MMLab, Wenxuan has also built production-facing vision features during an internship at ByteDance. His open-source contributions to the OpenOOD benchmark highlight practical work on out-of-distribution detection, adding data augmentations like PixMix, CutMix training, and temperature-scaling postprocessors to improve model uncertainty and robustness. Based in Ithaca, he blends academic rigor with applied ML engineering and a track record of shipping experiments that bridge research and real-world systems.
