● Map-Free Localization: Deployed a novel real-time localization algorithm that eschews pre-mapped road data. This enables AVs to navigate unexpected scenes-such as construction zones-without human intervention.
● MapSim: Deployed production-scale sensor simulator to test perception algorithms. Provided technical support for cross-functional company users of MapSim (quality-assurance, planning, controls, etc…)
● LIDAR Mapping and Localization: Prototyped and developed large-scale environment mapping system using laser ranging sensors. Vehicles use the lidars to localize themselves on the map in real time under autonomous control.
○ Project Lead: Designed project roadmap and directed a small team of two engineers to deliver intermediate milestones.
