Admittedly, Toronto winters can be cold ❄️, but we have access to multiple GPU clusters that help us stay warm 🔥. And we have a growing set of robots to keep us busy 🦾🦿🚘. 3/n

I'm looking for graduate students to join my group in fall 2026. We work at the intersection of Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and Robotics.
The goal of our work is to create and understand organic 🍀 simulation systems, i.e., controllable data-curation engines built from real-world data. 1/n

The hat looks great, and our jobs are safe: if solving robotics doesn't work out, we can still pursue a career in fashion! 🧢👒🎩 I hope @dieworkwear.bsky.social would agree. 2/2

In Germany, there is a tradition of creating funny hats for doctoral graduates. 🎓 @cvoelcker.bsky.social brought this tradition to my group and, together with Umangi Jain, spearheaded the construction of a masterpiece for our first PhD graduate, @ashmrz.bsky.social. 1/2

Ashkan has done some of the pioneering work on scene editing of 3d representations for novel view synthesis. While my motivation for this work was mainly for robotics 🦾, it has applications far beyond this domain. 2/4

Spotted @csprofkgd.bsky.social trying out his (new?) "AR" glasses at @vectorinstitute.ai. Being a prof in Computer Vision is hard work.

The global transformer shortage is a very serious issue. Please don't be wasteful! To do our part, the new
@vectorinstitute.ai policy is to use at most 3 heads per multi-head attention layer.
