Wei-Chiu Ma

Wei-Chiu Ma is an assistant professor of computer science at Cornell University. His research lies at the intersection of 3D/4D computer vision and robotics. He is interested in building AI systems that can understand, reconstruct, and re-simulate our dynamic world, and leveraging these capabilities to enable more robust autonomous systems or advanced entertainment applications.

Prior to joining Cornell, Ma was a Young Investigator/postdoc at AI2/University of Washington. He received his Ph.D. from MIT, where he worked with Antonio Torralba and Raquel Urtasun. Previously, he was a senior research scientist at Uber ATG R&D and Waabi, working on self-driving vehicles. Ma completed his M.S. in robotics at Carnegie Mellon University, where he was advised by Kris M. Kitani.
