Kevin Ta

Hi, it’s Kevin! I’m a Software Developer at Waabi working on robotics and multi-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 most excited at solving problems at the intersection of hardware and software, in pursuit 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 RNG when things go awry playing board games.
