We welcome postdoc applications aligned with — but not limited to — the following directions:

  • 3D Vision — reconstruction, neural fields, radiance fields, and geometric reasoning at scale.
  • Egocentric Vision — first-person video, audio, IMU, and language for situated understanding and forecasting.
  • Robotics — vision–language–action models, manipulation, sim-to-real transfer, and embodied perception.
  • Space AI — earth observation, onboard autonomy, and reliable perception for extreme environments.
  • Vision Agent — multimodal models, tool-using agents, and structured reasoning over images and video.
  • Visual Media — imaging, restoration, generation, and cinematic quality control for real-world capture.

See Research directions for the latest list and ongoing topics.
