💼 Experience

Postdoctoral Associate

Academic Research

📅: Aug 23 – Present
🌍: Computer Vision and Sensing Systems (COVISS) Lab, University of Florida, United States.

💼: In my research, I have worked on various advanced projects, including long-term visual place recognition, where I developed a graph-based image feature representation to adapt to dynamic regions and enhance place recognition through semantic information. For calibration-free multi-view detection and association, I implemented attention networks to optimize multi-view object detection without calibration, focusing on occlusion to improve detection accuracy (MODA) and precision (MODP). Additionally, I am working on an end-to-end detection, segmentation, and tracking system aimed at surpassing state-of-the-art performance for the MOTS challenge. I also co-supervised the ABE Robotics team in the ASABE Robotics Student Design Competition 2024 in Anaheim, California. Throughout these projects, I managed documentation and code versioning, with all models trained on the UF HiPerGator system.
