Tong Qin is a research engineer at Huawei. He received the Ph.D. degree in Hong Kong University of Science and Techonology in 2019, under the supervision of Prof. Shaojie Shen at Robotics Institute. Before that, he received the B.Eng. degree from Zhejiang University in 2015, under the supervision of Prof. Chao Xu. He was an research intern in Facebook Reality Labs during Spring and Summer, 2019, worked with Prof. Anastasios Mourikis.

His research interests include visual SLAM, sensor fusion, state estimaiton, AR/VR and autonomous driving.

We have opening positions for visual SLAM researchers at Huawei. If you are interested please contact me via email.
