Summary
Hugo Germain is a research scientist specializing in computer vision and machine learning with a decade of experience spanning industry research labs and advanced internships at Meta, Apple, Google X, Iris Automation and INRIA. Currently a PhD candidate in Informatics based in Zurich, he brings strong academic pedigree (UCL MSc in Computer Vision, CentraleSupélec top-of-class) and hands-on systems expertise from embedded GPU optimization to AR/VR visual localization. His work bridges foundational representation learning and applied robotics/vision systems, having delivered real-time perception and tracking solutions for drones and AR devices. Comfortable in both C++/CUDA and modern deep learning frameworks, he moves research into production-ready implementations and has repeatedly contributed at the intersection of perception, reinforcement learning and real-world constraints. An unusual blend of creative media experience and rigorous engineering gives him a practical, user-centered perspective on deploying vision technologies.
