Principal Researcher in Computer Vision

Principal Researcher in Computer Vision at Technology Innovation Institute

Technology Innovation Institute (TII) is a global independent research and development institute. Today, we are building a community of multi-disciplinary scientists and researchers from across the globe, transforming problems and roadblocks into pioneering research and technology prototypes that help move society ahead.

The Artificial Intelligence Cross-Center Unit is the machine learning powerhouse of TII, working in close collaboration with our other research centers to harness the full benefits of AI across our projects – and drive innovation from new computing paradigms, designing, and delivering new AI methodologies, technologies, solutions, and systems that address challenging issues across multiple sectors of the economy – from technology to healthcare, cybersecurity, and government, among others.

We incorporate core elements of intelligence (perception, sensing, planning, and language) in the ideation, design, and prototyping of next-generation systems with human-like intelligence. We build advanced AI computing and scalable AI-based software stacks and hardware systems to deliver significant enhancements in systems infrastructure.

Our AI researchers, scientists, and engineers collaborate to ensure innovative outcomes, from AI theory to AI technologies towards better intelligence.
