Jiangye Yuan

I am a Staff AI Engineer at General Motors, working on autonomous vehicle simulation. Previously, I worked at Zillow, visual localization startups (DeepMirror, Sturfee), Amazon, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. My technical background includes 3D computer vision, multimodal AI, neural networks, image processing, and remote sensing.

I received my Ph.D. in Geodetic Science and M.S. in Computer Science and Engineering both at The Ohio State University, where I was a member of the Perception and Neurodynamics Lab and the Mapping and GIS Lab.
