Welcome to Jianyu Wang's Homepage!

I am Jianyu Wang, currently a Software Engineer at Waymo, working on object detection for cars.

Before joining Waymo, I was a Research Scientist at Baidu Research USA. I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the Statistics Department of UCLA in March 2017. During my Ph.D., I was very fortunate to work with Prof. Alan Yuille in computer vision and deep learning. I obtained my master degree from the Electrical Engineering Department of UCLA in June 2013, where I majored in wireless communication and optimization. Before that, I did my undergraduate in the Electronic Engineering Department of Tsinghua University from 2007 to 2011. I did summer internship twice at Google, Mountain View, in 2015 and 2016.
