Robert Ren

I'm a undergraduate research intern at Toronto Intelligent Systems Lab at the University of Toronto, supervised by Professor Igor Gilitschenski. I'm also the radar object detection team lead at University of Toronto's autonomous driving team, aUToronto, where we aim to achieve level 4 autonomy.
