Short Biography:
Gang Hua is a Director of Applied Science at Amazon Alexa AI. My research focuses on computer vision, pattern recognition, machine learning/deep learning, multimodal reasoning, and robotics toward general artificial intelligence. He currently leads efforts to build more personalized, proactive, autonomous, and multimodal conversational agents for Alexa.. Before that, he wass the Vice President of the Multimodal Experiences Research Lab at Dolby Laboratories (2024-2025). He was the CTO of Convenience Bee, and the Managing Director and Chief Scientist of its research branch in US, Wormpex AI Research (2018-2024).. He also served in various roles at Microsoft (2015-18) as the Science/Technical Adviser to the CVP of the Computer Vision Group, Director of Computer Vision Science Team in Redmond and Taipei ATL, and Senior Principal Researcher/Research Manager at Microsoft Research . He was an Associate Professor at Stevens Institute of Technology (2011-15). During 2014-15, he took an on leave and worked on the Amazon-Go project.
