Xinshuo Weng ![](/sites/default/files/person/xinshuo_2021.jpg) Xinshuo Weng is a research scientist in the [Autonomous Vehicle Research](https://nvr-avg.github.io/) Group working with [Marco Pavone](https://web.stanford.edu/~pavone/index.html). Prior to joining NVIDIA Research, she received a [Ph.D. in Robotics](https://www.ri.cmu.edu/education/academic-programs/doctoral-robotics-program/) in 2022 and a [Master in Computer Vision](https://www.ri.cmu.edu/education/academic-programs/master-of-science-computer-vision/) in 2017 working with [Kris Kitani](http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~kkitani/), both from Carnegie Mellon University. She's also worked with [Yaser Sheikh](http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~yaser/) at Facebook Reality Lab as a research engineer to help build [“Photorealistic Telepresence”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RuzbIS3fTY). Her bachelor was received from [Wuhan University](http://en.whu.edu.cn/) in 2016. Xinshuo's research interests lie in seamlessly integrating modules across Autonomous Vehicle (AV) stacks by building next-generation differentiable AV pipelines, propagating uncertainties from the upstream to downstream modules to improve end-to-end performance, and exploring the most effective structure of differentiable pipelines. Her past research experience in AV spans the tasks of object detection, multi-object tracking, re-identification, trajectory prediction, and end-to-end vision-based planning.
