Vision & Robotics

The fourth-year PhD student's love of cartoons springboarded into a research career advancing realism in human-centric generative computer vision.

This award recognizes one or two researchers within seven years of receiving their PhD who have made distinguished research contributions to computer vision.

Professor Shree Nayar created the course that offers an interdisciplinary approach to computer vision. The specialization is designed for learners to acquire the foundational mathematical and physical underpinnings of computer vision.
About
The group studies the computational foundations for visual and robotic intelligence. They investigate machines that are able to perceive their surroundings and interact with them too.
The group of ten faculty often collaborate across the sciences and the arts. They leverage insights from both nature and math to advance the fundamentals of perception and interaction, and they also transfer their research to tackle practical challenges across disciplines. Several of the faculty are cross-listed with the Data Science Institute.
