Senior🎓
Top SchoolDorian Galvez-lopez is a Senior Computer Vision Engineer with over a decade of experience specializing in real-time localization, place and 3D object recognition for visual SLAM across both academia and industry. He earned a PhD in computer vision for SLAM and authored the widely used open-source DBoW2 library for real-time image-based relocalization, which has been adopted by numerous companies and research groups. Dorian helped bring research into products at Paracosm and Intel RealSense—contributing to the PX-80 capture device and the T265 tracking camera—and has continued to ship production-grade CV systems at Niantic. His work spans algorithm development, systems-level integration, and software engineering, from ORB-based feature pipelines to SDK-level AR examples and relocalization hooks. Notably, he combines deep research roots with pragmatic full-stack contributions to prominent open-source projects like librealsense, reflecting a talent for turning novel SLAM ideas into robust, deployable code.
