Senior🎓
Top SchoolYuliang Zou is a Senior Research Scientist at Waymo with a decade of experience applying 3D perception and generative AI techniques to autonomous driving. With a Ph.D. in machine perception from Virginia Tech and internships at Adobe, NEC Labs, Google, and Waymo, he bridges rigorous academic research and real-world perception systems. His work spans geometry understanding, human-centric action recognition, and data-efficient learning, with publications at ECCV, BMVC, and CVIU. Based in Mountain View, he has repeatedly transitioned research prototypes into practical perception improvements for self-driving stacks. An often-overlooked strength is his recurring role as both mentor and implementer during internships and teaching, which helps him translate complex papers into production-ready solutions.
