Summary
Ziwei Wang is a Senior Data Scientist based in Greater Sydney with eight years of experience building and deploying AI systems spanning robotics, vision-language models, and edge inference. He transitioned from an AI Research Scientist role at CSIRO Data61—where he led development of transformer-based models for bi-manual robot manipulation, 2D/3D scene understanding, and ROS-integrated visuomotor pipelines—to an AI agents role at Commonwealth Bank. Ziwei’s background blends rigorous academic research (PhD from The University of Queensland and 15+ publications in top venues) with hands-on implementation in PyTorch, PyTorch Lightning, Python/C++, and CUDA GPU clusters. He has delivered production ML pipelines for multimodal sensing and real-world robotics tasks, and has experience visualizing IoT sensor networks for space exploration. Notably, he combines foundation-model expertise with robotics systems engineering, enabling large models to operate at the edge for embodied AI. He is comfortable bridging research and product teams to move novel algorithms from papers into fielded systems.
