Mehmed Kerem Uludag
Hey! I'm a first year master's student at the University of Illinois and a graduate of the University of Michigan with a dual degree in Computer Science & Robotics. I'm currently part of the MONET Lab at Illinois, where I'm exploring applied machine learning with a focus on computer vision, 360 video, and AR/VR applications.
Outside of my academic work, I work full-time as a Senior AI Engineer in the GDI&A department at Ford. I was previously the president of Michigan Autonomous Aerial Vehicles (MAAV) (2022-2025), where I led a student-run project team working towards an autonomous drone competition.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions, inquiries, or jokes via my (scrambled) email to the right :)
