Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYang Yang is a Principal Software Engineer based in Seattle with 11 years of experience bridging cutting-edge research and production engineering in image, video, and audio processing. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and has a strong research pedigree in distributed source coding, multi-view video coding, and advanced source/channel coding—work that includes practically closing theoretical gaps (e.g., schemes within fractions of dB or bits of known limits) and an award-winning depth-map aided multi-view codec. At Amazon since 2012, he applies deep information-theory expertise to real-world multimedia and compression challenges, combining hands-on codec implementation with principled code design (LDPC/IRA, TCQ). Notably, his background spans both applied systems—synchronized multi-camera capture and 3D display prototyping—and theoretical advances in multiterminal source coding and dirty-paper coding, making him adept at turning complex signal-processing theory into deployable solutions.
