Summary
Colin Decourt is a Machine Learning R&D Engineer with eight years of experience bridging research and production in computer vision and radar-based perception. He earned a PhD in AI and built lightweight, memory-efficient neural architectures and self-supervised frameworks for radar object detection, publishing at IEEE venues while also teaching and supervising students. Now at Exotec he applies that research mindset to warehouse robotics, developing photorealistic synthetic data pipelines and end-to-end ML systems for automated picking. Comfortable across data collection, simulation, model design, and deployment, he combines academic rigor with hands-on engineering to deliver robust, real-world solutions. A detail that often goes unnoticed: he has repeatedly optimized models for extreme resource constraints, enabling high-performance inference on embedded and edge platforms.
