B Kiran is a Senior Staff Engineer and manager based in Paris with around 10 years of experience building ML and perception stacks for autonomous driving. He has led technical teams at Qualcomm and Navya, driving data-centric AI for multimodal perception and real-time multi-task DNNs for object detection, drivable zone estimation and pointcloud segmentation. His background blends industrial R&D and academic rigor—PhD-level research in image segmentation and a consistent publication record—enabling pragmatic sim-to-real and dataset curation strategies that reduce annotation effort. He has hands-on experience across lidar, vision and embedded systems from startups to large corporations, and has coached masters and PhD students while coordinating cross-functional integration. Notably, he has applied Bayesian active learning and self-supervised approaches to scale semantic segmentation and 3D monocular detection, bringing research techniques into production pipelines. This combination of leadership, deep technical breadth and a track record of marrying novel research with deployable AD solutions makes him effective at turning perception research into operational features.
