Biography (more>>)

Jeremy Ma is currently a researcher in the Computer Vision Group at JPL. His current work focuses on algorithmic development for sensing and perception of autonomous systems, with an emphasis on 3D object modeling and estimation.

Dr. Ma earned his PhD in the robotics research group at Caltech where he developed real-time methods for robust 3D object detection and tracking using stereo-vision. While at Caltech, Dr. Ma also participated in the DARPA Urban Challenge, a race between autonomous vehicles in urban settings, leading the sensing group for TeamCaltech.
