Qilin’s Website

Welcome to the academic personal website of Qilin Zhang (pronounced as [tʃi.lin.ʒæŋ], i.e., Qilin Zhang , or more precisely [tɕʰǐ.lǐn.ʈʂáŋ] in IPA narrow transcription), where I share my research progress in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Computational Imaging, Computational Photography, Autonomous Driving, Mapping and Localization, Image Processing, Video Content Analysis, Neural Network, and Signal Processing.

I am currently a Research Scientist at DeepNight (YC W24), building AI-powered night vision. I’m an ex-Apple Machine Learning Research Engineer, where I worked on computational imaging to improve the quality and functionality of images and video.

My complete publication list is in the 📚 tab, with links to full-text preprint PDFs, BibTeX files, etc. I also have patent applications and a short biography listed in the 💡 and 👤 tabs, respectively. My emails can be found in the 📧 tab.

Previously, I worked at Apple in Cupertino, California as a Computational Imaging Research Engineer. Before Apple, I was a Senior Research Scientist at ABB — US Corporate Research Center (USCRC) in Raleigh, North Carolina. Earlier, at HERE Technologies in Chicago, Illinois, I served first as a Senior Research Engineer and later as a Lead Research Engineer, working on neural-network-based machine perception and computer-vision-driven road-feature detection for autonomous driving.

Prior to industry, I was a Ph.D. student/research assistant in the Department of Computer Science at Stevens Institute of Technology. I also worked as a summer R&D intern at GE Global Research in 2015 and as a research assistant at the University of Florida before 2012.

As a passionate engineer and researcher, I appreciate opportunities to connect with innovative individuals who share similar research interests. Let’s connect on LinkedIn.
