Yinpeng Chen is a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering and Arts, Media and Engineering with around a decade of research and development experience spanning real-time multimedia systems, medical image registration, and computer vision. He has applied low-level languages and systems programming (C/C++, Objective-C, x86 assembly) to build production-oriented solutions such as a real-time license plate recognition system and a constraint-aware adaptation framework for multimedia. Internships at Microsoft Research Asia and IBM T. J. Watson Research Center reflect hands-on work delivering optimized video processing and parallelized 3D registration on specialized hardware. An active contributor to adversarial ML tooling, he implemented and refined attack methods in the widely used cleverhans library, showing a mix of theoretical ML interest and practical code maintenance. Based in Tempe and trained at Tsinghua and ASU, he combines rigorous academic research with a track record of shipping performant, deployable systems.
