Adrien Gaidon, PhD

I am the head of Machine Learning at the Toyota Research Institute (TRI) and an Adjunct Professor at Stanford, CA, USA. My work focuses on Principle-centric ML (combining knowledge and data) for Embodied Intelligence (physical ML systems), spanning Scene and Behavior Understanding, Simulation for Deep Learning, 3D Computer Vision, and Self-Supervised Learning (cf. a short bio and my CV for more info). Outside of work, I spend time with my wife, daughter, and the mountains (I love camping, climbing, and snowboarding).
