Summary
Ziqian Bai is a software developer and PhD candidate specializing in 3D computer vision and machine learning, with eight years of experience spanning research labs and industry. He has driven novel work on 3D human avatars, non-rigid multi-view face reconstruction, and the first learning-based RGB camera localization that supports novel scenes and real-time scene updates for SLAM. His internships at Facebook Reality Labs, Alibaba Vision Lab, SenseTime, and a student researcher role at Google focused on practical 3D digital human modeling, bridging deep learning with geometric optimization. Now at Google as a Software Developer (PhD), he brings a rare combination of systems-minded coding and publishable research, often tackling on-the-fly, real-time requirements that few academic prototypes handle. Based in Toronto, he maintains an active academic portfolio and project site showcasing reproducible research and implementations.
