Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBasile Van Hoorick is a research scientist with nine years of experience building computer vision and machine learning systems that enable visual understanding of the dynamic 3D world. Currently on Toyota Research Institute's Large Behavior Models team, he focuses on video and 4D representation learning, object permanence, and robotics applications. His PhD and MS from Columbia involved self-supervised and video representation research, teaching advanced computer vision and representation learning courses. He has research stints at Meta FAIR and Waymo and has interned previously at TRI on point tracking and 4D perception, bridging academic rigor with industrial-scale problems. Outside research, he developed widely used Android apps for mathematical visualization—over a million downloads—demonstrating a knack for shipping polished consumer software. Based in Los Altos, he combines deep theoretical grounding with practical engineering across vision, robotics, and applied ML.
