Senior🎓
Top SchoolVivek Yadav is a Principal Applied Scientist with a PhD and over a decade of industry experience bridging robotics, neuroscience, biomechanics and deep learning to build perception and control systems for autonomous platforms. He has led multidisciplinary teams at Lockheed Martin and Amazon, shipping real-time SLAM, multi-sensor fusion, 3D reconstruction and AR-facing computer vision solutions on embedded and large-scale production systems. Vivek combines academic rigor from a research and teaching background with hands-on engineering — from prototyping neural-control algorithms in MATLAB to deploying compact deep networks for LIDAR-image fusion and virtual try-on at scale. He is a proven technical lead and mentor who drives end-to-end roadmaps, active learning pipelines, and efficient models that reduce annotation burden while enabling new product programs. Based in Denver, he brings a rare mix of biomechanics-informed insight and practical systems experience that informs robust perception under real-world constraints.
