Background

About Phillip Tran

I'm currently working for Atllas, Inc. as Head of Product, where I develop tools that enable billions of dollars worth of real estate transactions. I am also a PhD student advised by Dr. Denise Geiskkovitch at McMaster University, where we study human-robot interaction. I have a passion for conducting interdisciplinary research. I have worked on a project with Dr. Phillip Lobel and his marine biology lab at BU to develop an application that categorizes and analyzes millions of videos and photos on-device. Within the world of software engineering, I am most interested in crafting beautiful, functional web applications and developing robust, adaptable computer vision systems for robots. I have served as Vice President of BUILDS, a student run hackerspace which also serves at BU's official Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) chapter. I have also served as the Director of Marketing in Upsilon Pi Epsilon, a computer science honor society. Outside of those things, I enjoy personal finance, fitness, cooking, music, podcasts, and watches. I love staying curious!
