Yinhao Zhu is a Staff Engineer in San Diego with a decade of experience specializing in 3D computer vision, differentiable rendering, and foundation models for spatial and temporal scene understanding. At Qualcomm he drives research-to-product work in 3D reconstruction, Gaussian Splatting, 4D world models, and autonomous driving, building systems that bridge NeRF-like representations and real-time perception. His academic background (PhD in Electrical Engineering) and graduate research in physics-informed ML, surrogate modeling, and uncertainty quantification give him a strong foundation in principled modeling and probabilistic reasoning uncommon in many applied CV teams. He has also applied sequence-to-sequence deep learning in genomics during industry internships, showing a knack for cross-domain adaptation of methods. Colleagues rely on him to translate cutting-edge research into scalable implementations for XR, compression, and perception pipelines.
