Kevin Ta

Hi, it’s Kevin! I’m a Software Developer at Waabi working on on-board systems and sensor calibration. I graduated from ETH Zurich with a M.Sc. in Robotics Systems and Control. Previously, I completed my Bachelor’s at the University of British Columbia in Mechanical Engineering, specializing in Mechatronics.

My professional interests lie in multi-sensor systems, computer vision, and robotics. My research at the CVL focused on deep representation for multi-sensor SLAM and sensor calibration for autonomous vehicles. Previously, I worked on next-generation sensor calibration & development of self-driving cars at Cruise.

During my undergraduate studies, I captained the UBC Supermileage team, an engineering design team building ultra-efficient vehicles. I am also a James Dyson National Award winner alongside my capstone team for our work on the Attentiv Catheter.

I’m motivated by working at the intersection of hardware and software, for the purpose of improving our day-to-day lives. Beyond my work and research, you’ll find me crushing at the bouldering gym, meeting up with my book club, or cursing at real world RNG while playing board games.
