Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFlora Tasse is a Principal ML Engineer with 13 years of experience specializing in 3D perception and multi-modal interactive AI, now applying cutting-edge techniques to real-world 3D applications at NVIDIA. She holds a PhD from Cambridge on 3D shape retrieval across diverse query types and has translated that deep research into production systems for self-driving cars, mixed reality, and mobile scene understanding. As Head of CV/AI Research at Streem and co-founder/CTO of Selerio, she built teams and tech that map and semantically interpret user environments from everyday phone cameras. Her background spans video scene understanding, saliency detection, sketch-based interfaces and terrain modelling, giving her a rare blend of geometric rigour and practical systems thinking. Colleagues rely on her for distilling research into deployable models that bridge sensors, sketches, and imagery—skills informed by early work on crowd simulation and hand-pose reconstruction. Based in Seattle, she combines academic depth with a proven track record of shipping AI-driven perception products.
