Guillermo Garcia-Hernando Research Scientist at Niantic, Inc.

About

I'm a researcher at Niantic's AR Research team led by Gabriel Brostow and based in London, UK. Previously, I spent a couple of years as a postdoc at Imperial College London in collaboration with Samsung Research. I completed my Ph.D. in computer vision and machine learning in 2017 supervised by Tae-Kyun Kim also at Imperial. In a previous life, I was in Paris (MSc./Diplôme d'Ingénieur at Télécom Paris) and in Barcelona (BSc. at Technical University of Catalonia - UPC).

I particularly enjoy teaching, supervising students and disseminating research to audiences of different backgrounds and ages. I've been involved in the organization of academic events such as BMVC 2017, different workshops at CVPR, ICCV and ECCV conferences and also had the chance of teaching at the Nepal Winter School in AI 2018.
