| About Me

Hello! My name is Thomas E. Huang. I am a Research Scientist at Waymo on the perception foundation model team.

I obtained my PhD in Computer Vision at the Computer Vision Lab at ETH Zürich, advised by Fisher Yu. Previously, I obtained my Master's and Bachelor's degrees from the EECS department at the University of Michigan.
