Work Experience
AI Engineer at Formus Labs
January 1, 2026 - PresentDeveloped a new 3D reconstruction approach for hip bones from biplanar X-rays, enabling generation of the internal cortical surface. Achieved ~2mm accuracy on synthetic X-ray data and progressed on real X-ray reconstruction. Partnered with the CEO to define the X-ray data acquisition protocol. Trained models on AWS A100 instances, optimized training workflows to reduce time from 7 days to 3 days, and deployed the model on Google Cloud. Processed medical imaging data (DICOM/NIfTI) for CT and X-rays including cleaning, labeling, orientation handling, synthetic data generation, and dataset preparation. Reviewed literature to guide implementation decisions.
Research Associate at University of Canterbury
March 1, 2024 - March 1, 2025Built a 3D fruit counting and instance segmentation pipeline using 3D Gaussian Splatting and contrastive learning; improved separation of adjacent apples by redesigning the loss function. Benchmarked and integrated multiple 2D detectors (Detectron2, YOLOv8, Detrex) to guide 3D segmentation. Implemented distributed hyperparameter tuning across 300+ machines using Optuna and Redis Queue. Created monitoring dashboards with Grafana for training progress; built a custom 3D visualizer (Qt, PyRender) for analyzing segmentation results in 3D. Explored optimizer modifications and reviewed relevant 3D instance segmentation literature to improve model performance.
Intern at Fruitminder
October 1, 2023 - March 1, 2024Engineered a cross-modal 2D-guided 3D segmentation framework by projecting 2D semantic masks from foundational models (GroundingDINO, SAM) onto 3D Gaussian fields to isolate target objects (fruit trees) from complex backgrounds. Implemented supporting tooling and workflows using 3D Gaussian Splatting, Open3D, and CUDA-enabled components for processing and prototyping.
