Richard Szeliski is a Distinguished Scientist at Google Research, where he creates new technologies for computational photography, image-based modeling, and neural rendering, and is also an Affiliate Professor at the University of Washington. He is a member of the NAE and a Fellow of the ACM and IEEE. Dr. Szeliski has done pioneering research in the fields of Bayesian methods for computer vision, image-based modeling and rendering, and computational photography, which lie at the intersection of computer vision and computer graphics. His research on Photo Tourism, Photosynth, and Hyperlapse are exciting examples of the promise of large-scale image and video-based rendering.
