Hi! I’m Haotian (Nitro) Zhang — a graduate student at the University of California, Irvine, pursuing a Master’s in Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems.
I specialize in embedded AI, robotics, and system-level optimization, working across Python, C++, and Linux to build efficient and intelligent systems. This site showcases my technical projects, research experience, and professional journey.
Developed a multimodal Vision-Language Model pipeline using synthetic RGB + LiDAR data in CARLA to detect hazardous road interactions. Optimized for embedded Edge AI deployment and real-time inference.
View All ProjectsBuilt a distributed IoT sensor network using ESP8266 nodes and a Raspberry Pi hub for adaptive light detection with dynamic discovery and power management.
View All ProjectsI enjoy combining AI-driven perception with real-time embedded systems. Beyond engineering, I’m a lifelong learner and gamer — often diving into strategy and precision games like CS2 to sharpen focus and teamwork.
