Summary
Filip Ilic is a machine learning engineer with nine years of hands-on experience in computer vision and deep learning, recently joining Snap Inc. after completing a PhD at TU Graz on motion’s role in action recognition. His research portfolio spans privacy-preserving video analysis, video object segmentation, denoising, implicit neural representations, and interpretable action recognition, and included a visiting researcher stint at York University. At TU Graz he translated research into applied systems—designing a full pipeline for steel defect detection from data acquisition to deployment—and earlier at CERN he built data quality tools for the CMS detector. Filip combines strong research rigor with production-oriented engineering, comfortable moving models from prototypes to reliable tooling. Based in Vienna, he brings a blend of academic depth and practical impact, with a track record of tackling both low-level signal tasks and high-level representation problems. A not-obvious asset: he pairs vision research with real-world quality-control and monitoring experience, making his work readily applicable to industry settings.
