California, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYurong You is a research scientist at NVIDIA Research’s Autonomous Vehicle Research Group with a PhD in Computer Science from Cornell and a decade of experience in computer vision and machine learning. His work bridges foundational research and applied perception for autonomous systems, informed by internships and research roles at Waymo, Apple, and Stanford. He completed his doctorate under Kilian Weinberger and Bharath Hariharan, and has a strong academic foundation from Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s ACM Honors class. Yurong’s background spans deep reinforcement learning, sensor simulation, and multimodal perception, reflecting both theoretical rigor and practical system-building. Based in California, he moves fluidly between fast-paced industry research and longer-term academic projects, often focusing on problems that accelerate real-world autonomy. A less obvious strength is his repeated exchanges between top labs and universities, which give him a rare perspective on transferring cutting-edge ideas into production-focused AV stacks.
