Shuai Chen

I am a 4th year PhD student in Active Vision Laboratory at University of Oxford, supervised by Prof. Victor Prisacariu. I received my Master and Bachelor in Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California.

Previously, I was a senior AI algorithm engineer and a team leader at Huawei Technologies, where I led several commercially successful computer vision and computational photography projects in Huawei/Honor flagship smartphones.

I spent a delightful time at Niantic Labs as a research intern, mentored by amazing scientists Eric Brachmann, Tommaso Cavallari, and Victor Prisacariu.

In 2024, I joined Meta Reality Lab as a research scientist intern.

Next, I'm joining Ninatic as a senior research scientist.
