Ziqi Ma is a computer vision researcher and PhD student at Caltech with nine years of industry and research experience building AI systems that bridge perception and the physical world. He has shipped large-scale ML in production at Microsoft—earning a Microsoft Patent Award as lead inventor—and contributed to cutting-edge generative 3D and vision work during internships and a part-time role at Meta. His background spans ML for quantum sensing and environmental projects from UChicago to Fermilab, reflecting a breadth across applied research and systems engineering. Comfortable moving between research and production, he has experience grounding early GPT-family models and building distributed data infrastructure. Based in Pasadena, he combines mathematical rigor from his PhD training with practical software engineering chops honed at major tech labs. Colleagues would note his knack for turning complex academic ideas into deployable systems that impact real-world sensing and perception.
