Greetings! I’m Hongjun Wu (吴泓骏), a technical artist and researcher at the intersection of technology and art.
I am currently the lead AI/ML engineer at a rapidly growing stealth Web3+AI startup in NYC.
I hold dual Master of Science degrees from Cornell Tech in Information Systems and Applied Information Science, and a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Visual Arts from the University of Washington.
My work spans multiple disciplines, including game development, machine learning, user experience design, and traditional fine arts. I’ve contributed to notable projects such as TrackAir (Cornell Tech 2022 Startup Award Finalist), RhinoCircular (Zumtobel Innovation Prize Winner), and served as the inaugural technical artist intern at Dreamhaven’s Moonshot Games. At Cornell Tech, I worked closely with Dr. Volodymyr Kuleshov on making machine learning applications more accessible, while also helping develop the internet’s first open Ph.D. level course on deep generative models.
Previously at the University of Washington, I conducted research in various fields, from aerodynamics at the Aircraft Icing & Aerodynamics Research Group to particle physics at CERN. My research also included the social situation of the Roma community in Greece, where I conducted a two month field study of the Roma community in Athens.
I also co-founded Team 4415 for the FIRST Robotics Competition, leading the team to multiple regional achievements.
Through my work, I strive to create experiences that seamlessly blend technology and art, aiming to bring joy and innovation to those who encounter them.
