About Me
I am currently a Research Fellow (Post-doc) at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, under the supervision of Prof. Ling Shi. Prior to this, I earned my PhD from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, under the supervision of Prof. Zhongqing Su, Prof. David Navarro-Alarcón, and Prof. Yuxiang Sun (CityU). I received my Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, where I was mentored by Prof. Jingming Xie and Prof. Gang Zhang.
My research interests include robotics and autonomous driving, with a focus on pose estimation, global localization, and long-term localization.
I am always open to discussions and collaborations. Feel free to reach out to me at weixin.ma@connect.polyu.hk.
