Zhaowei Cai

I am an applied scientist with Amazon Rekognition team, where I work on computer vision and machine learning. I received my Ph.D. and M.S. degrees from UC San Diego, advised by Nuno Vasconcelos, and B.S. degree from Dalian Maritime University.

I have fortunately worked as research intern at Facebook AI Research (FAIR), Micsoft Research Redmond (MSR), IBM T. J. Watson Research, and Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA).
