Xiaolong Li
I am a Senior Applied Research Scientist at Nvidia TAO team. My mission is to build 3D into AI foundations, with current focus on grounding 3D-VLMs into Embodied AI domain. Previously I was an Applied Scientist in Amazon AGI, working on 3D vision problems and diffusion-based video generation. I obtained Ph.D. in computer engineering at Virginia Tech, advised by Prof. A. Lynn Abbott, with research focused on deep 3D representations learning for dynamic scene understanding. I’m interested in AR/VR, Embodied AI, robotics.
During the summer 2019, I am lucky to work with Prof. Shuran Song(now Stanford University), Dr. He Wang(now Peking University), Dr. Li Yi (Google Research, now Tsinghua University), and Johnny Chung Lee(Google Brain Robotics) as a student ML researcher in Google Brain Robotics, Mountain View; in 2020 spring, I did a research internship on 3D perception in MERL, mentored by Prof. Siheng Chen(now Shanghai Jiaotong University), Dr. Alan Sullivan(MERL); in 2021 summer, I worked with Dr. Ishani Chakraborty(Hololens), Dr. Yale Song(MSR), Dr. Bugra Tekin(Hololens) in a research internship. I have also worked with Prof. Yunhui Zhu(VT 3D Optics Group) on X-ray phase imaging.
