Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJulian Straub is a research scientist at Facebook Reality Labs in Seattle with 13 years of experience building real-time 3D perception systems that bridge robotics, computer vision, and large-scale machine learning. He holds a PhD from MIT focused on ML, SLAM and robotics, and specializes in Bayesian modeling of directional data, nonparametrics, and efficient inference techniques. At Facebook he leads work on end-to-end mobile 3D scene understanding spanning sensor design, sensor fusion, state estimation, reconstruction and localization. Julian is also an active contributor to open-source tooling for vision and sensor integration—having enhanced Pangolin’s camera drivers and Realsense support to improve real-world data capture and synchronization. He combines deep theoretical expertise with hands-on systems engineering, consistently shipping research that targets deployable, low-latency perception stacks.
