Jiangye Yuan

I am a Senior Applied Scientist at Zillow, developing multimodal AI systems for 3D spatial understanding. Previously, I worked at visual localization startups (DeepMirror, Sturfee), Amazon, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. I have worked extensively on 3D computer vision, neural networks, image processing, remote sensing, and geoscience.

I received my Ph.D. in Geodetic Science and M.S. in Computer Science and Engineering both at The Ohio State University, where I was a member of the Perception and Neurodynamics Lab and the Mapping and GIS Lab.
