We're looking for a Summer 2027 Research Intern at NVIDIA Research
Human Performance and Experience (HPX) team at NVIDIA Research is looking for research interns who are passionate about one or more of the following topics: Human-inspired artificial intelligence, gamining AI, and AI content authenticity. We expect candidates with backgrounds in computer vision, human vision science, robotic vision, and related fields. Please reach out to me with your CV.
NVIDIA AI Channel highlighted Spatial-IQ on X, LinkedIn, and Facebook, introducing its nine sub-tasks for evaluating perception and reasoning in 3D object counting. The posts also featured our training results: Qwen2.5-VL-32B improved from 2.9% to 62.6% object-counting accuracy.
Massachusetts Lions funding for VR assessment of cerebral visual impairment
Awarded Massachusetts Lions Eye Research Fund support as Co-PI with Lotfi Merabet for Immersive Virtual Reality Collision Avoidance Test for Cerebral Visual Impairment. The project develops and tests a VR-based assessment of walking and collision avoidance.
Awarded NIH/NEI R01 EY031777 as Principal Investigator for Monocular Visual Confusion for Field Expansion. The project develops and evaluates optical devices to expand the visual field, with funding beginning in September 2020.
Continued as Co-Investigator on the renewal of NIH/NEI R01 EY023385 (PI: Eli Peli). The project develops multi-periscopic prisms for visual field expansion and evaluates their benefits for mobility.
Awarded Fight for Sight grant GA18003 as Principal Investigator to develop multiplexing-prism glasses for acquired monocular vision and evaluate collision and hazard detection.
Awarded the Alice J. Adler Fellowship as Principal Investigator to evaluate multiplexing-prism configurations for hazard detection in homonymous hemianopia.
Awarded Department of Defense grant W81XWH-16-1-0033 as Co-PI with Eli Peli for Active Confocal Imaging for Visual Prostheses. The project uses light-field imaging and video processing to reduce background clutter and improve object detection and recognition.
Awarded Promobilia Foundation grant 14222 as Principal Investigator to develop active confocal imaging that isolates objects of interest and removes background clutter for visual prostheses.
