Summary
Ankur Gupta is a CV and ML researcher with over a decade of hands-on experience building production-ready computer vision and generative AI systems, currently advancing core AI/ML algorithms at Apple. He specializes in image and video synthesis, multi-view geometry, SLAM and neural rendering, and has shipped commercial digital humans and low-power DVS-based tracking for mobile AR/VR. Known for bridging cutting-edge research with pragmatic engineering, he designs end-to-end ML pipelines, eliminates system bottlenecks, and leads red-teaming to ensure robust failure modes. At Samsung Research he scaled an ML team from scratch and delivered award-winning products and patents; earlier work includes flagship 3D human-pose systems highlighted by NVIDIA. He mentors engineers and fosters cross-functional collaboration to turn ambiguous product goals into measurable impact. Based in Mountain View and holding a PhD in computer vision from UBC, he blends academic rigor with product-driven execution.
